Preventive Care: Defense Against Oral Health Issues
Prevention is at the heart of what we do. Proactive steps in your routine can protect your teeth and gums from many oral health issues. As a result, this can save you time, pain, and money in the long run. Our preventative services can keep your smiles healthy and vibrant:
-
Regular Checkups and Cleanings: Routine dental checkups help us detect any signs of dental issues early on. During these visits, our dental team will examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. Here, we address any concerns and remove plaque and tartar buildup with a dental cleaning.
-
Dental Sealants: Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). They reduce the risk of cavities by creating a barrier against bacteria and food particles. Sealants are common for children prone to tooth decay.
-
Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent tooth decay. Fluoride treatments are great for children while their teeth develop.
-
Customized Oral Hygiene Education: Our team will work with you to develop personalized oral hygiene routines for your family’s needs. We’ll guide proper brushing and flossing techniques as well as other habits that promote excellent oral health.
Be Proactive: Your Smile Deserves the Best Care
Being proactive about your dental care means taking charge of your oral health and making it a priority for the entire family. Here’s how you can be proactive in maintaining healthy smiles:
-
Schedule Regular Dental Checkups: Don’t wait until you have a toothache or other dental issues. Routine checkups every six months allow us to catch problems early and prevent them from worsening.
-
Practice Consistent Oral Hygiene: You need to brush twice a day as well as floss daily. These steps can go a long way in preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
-
Eat a Tooth-Friendly Diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and low in sugary snacks and beverages can help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
-
Protect Your Smile: If you or your family members participate in sports, consider custom mouthguards to prevent dental injuries. Similarly, if you grind your teeth at night, a custom nightguard can protect your teeth from wear and damage.
