Preventative Dental Care
Are you looking for preventative dental care? A healthy smile starts with great preventative care at home and at our family dental practice! Through focused strategies and hygiene techniques, you can lower your risk of common oral health concerns like cavities, gum disease and tooth loss.
Cleans and Periodontal Screenings
During your scale and clean, we’ll evaluate your teeth and gums for signs of periodontal disease. Some of the symptoms you should be on the lookout for include:
- Receding gumlines
- Bleeding when you brush and floss
- Swollen, tender gums
- Heavy tartar buildup
Since the earliest stage of gum disease – gingivitis – is reversible, we aim to help you keep your smile clean through modified oral hygiene techniques and regular scales. But when periodontal infections take root, they require more therapeutic deep cleanings to halt the infection.
We’ll measure your gum attachment levels and assess bone height on your X-rays to prevent additional damage before it leads to tooth loss.

Equipping Our Patients
Modifying your oral hygiene routine to fit your unique tooth anatomy is important. If you have fixed restorations like bridges, we can show you different resources to utilise while cleaning hard-to-reach areas. Our team will share various techniques and hygiene aids to make your everyday maintenance as easy – and thorough – as possible.
Diagnostic Digital X-rays
Taking intermittent dental X-rays allows us to see areas that aren’t visible during your clinical exam. With this added imagery, we’re able to stop cavities and gum disease earlier, while they’re less invasive and more affordable to treat.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Each of our patients receive an oral cancer screening annually. Since precancerous tissues can be difficult to find on your own, thorough screenings could save your life. Risk factors for oral cancer include everything from sun exposure and viruses to tobacco or alcohol use.
Fissure Sealants
Protective dental sealants safeguard hard-to-clean areas like the deep grooves and pits in your back teeth (molars). Sealants aren’t fillings, so they’re painless to have placed; it only takes a few minutes per tooth.
We recommend sealing your child’s permanent molars shortly after they erupt, which is usually around ages 6 and 12, respectively. Adults can get sealants too! If you have a history of frequent cavities, be sure to request this preventative procedure at your next check-up.

Any invasive or surgical procedure may carry risks. Before moving forward, it is recommended that you seek a second opinion from an appropriately licensed medical professional.
