Protect your smile for a lifetime with expert preventive dentistry at Family Dentist Tree.
Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and preventing issues like cavities and gum disease before they start. By combining routine professional care with good at-home hygiene, preventive dentistry helps patients of all ages keep their smiles strong and healthy.
At Family Dentist Tree, we take a proactive approach to your care, offering thorough exams, professional cleanings, and personalized recommendations to protect your teeth and gums. Whether you’re visiting for a routine checkup or need extra support in maintaining your oral health, our team is here to help you and your family enjoy a lifetime of confident smiles.
Regular checkups and cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Preventive care helps detect early signs of dental issues before they become painful or costly to treat.
By catching problems early, preventive dentistry helps you avoid more extensive—and expensive—treatments down the road. Routine visits ensure small concerns don’t turn into major issues.
Your oral health is connected to your overall well-being. Preventive care lowers the risk of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues by keeping harmful bacteria at bay.

We offer a full range of preventive services to keep your smile healthy at every stage of life.
Regular dental exams allow us to check for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns before they progress. We assess your overall oral health, take X-rays when needed, and discuss any recommendations to keep your smile in top shape.
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach. Our hygienists carefully clean your teeth and gums to help prevent decay and keep your mouth feeling fresh.
Gum health is essential to a healthy smile. We provide scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to remove bacteria and stop gum disease from progressing, helping you maintain strong and healthy gums.
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps protect against cavities, especially for children and patients with a higher risk of tooth decay. Our professional fluoride treatments provide an extra layer of defense for long-term dental health.
Sealants are a simple, painless way to protect molars from decay. This thin coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, creating a barrier against bacteria and plaque.
If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a custom-fitted night guard can help protect your teeth from excessive wear and damage. Night guards reduce strain on your jaw and prevent headaches, tooth sensitivity, and enamel wear caused by bruxism.
We perform thorough oral cancer screenings during your routine visits. Early detection is key to successful treatment, and regular screenings can help identify any concerning changes in your oral tissues before they become larger issues.
We recommend seeing your dentist at least twice a year for exams and cleanings. However, patients with a higher risk of gum disease or cavities may need more frequent visits.
While fluoride is especially beneficial for children, adults can also benefit from fluoride treatments, especially if they have sensitive teeth, dry mouth, or a history of cavities.
The American Dental Association recommends children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts. Early visits help build positive dental habits and allow us to monitor their oral development.
If you wake up with headaches, jaw pain, or notice worn-down teeth, you may be grinding or clenching your teeth at night. A night guard can help protect your teeth and relieve discomfort.

I have been going to Family Dentist Tree for more than 20 years. I have seen 2 of my dentists retire and always replaced with great quality new ones. Great staff and hygienists. Plan to continue here even though now I drive across town to do so.
