General and Preventive Dentistry

Understanding General and Preventive Dentistry

General and preventive dentistry includes a variety of services designed to maintain the health of your teeth and gums, identify potential issues early, and avoid more complex dental treatments down the line. By prioritizing preventive care, we aim to help you keep your smile healthy and vibrant.

Our General and Preventive Dental Services

1. Routine Check-Ups and Cleanings
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential for maintaining oral health. During these appointments, we perform a detailed examination of your teeth and gums, remove plaque and tartar buildup, and assess your overall dental condition. Identifying and addressing dental concerns early helps prevent more serious issues from developing.

2. Comprehensive Dental Examinations
A comprehensive dental examination involves a thorough assessment of your oral health using a combination of visual inspections and diagnostic imaging, such as digital X-rays. This helps us detect any signs of dental problems, including decay, gum disease, and other conditions that might affect your well-being.

3. Professional Teeth Cleaning
Teeth cleaning includes the removal of plaque and tartar through scaling, followed by polishing to smooth the tooth surfaces. This procedure is vital for preventing gum disease and tooth decay by eliminating harmful bacteria and reducing plaque formation.

4. Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments are designed to enhance the strength of tooth enamel and provide additional protection against cavities. We apply fluoride varnish to your teeth during your visit, particularly beneficial for children and individuals at a higher risk for tooth decay.

5. Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. These sealants fill in the natural grooves and pits, helping to prevent cavities by creating a barrier against food particles and bacteria.

6. Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are an important part of routine check-ups, aimed at identifying any unusual changes or signs of cancer in the mouth and throat early on. Early detection is key for effective treatment and better outcomes.

7. Patient Education
We are committed to educating our patients about maintaining their oral health. Our team provides valuable advice on effective brushing and flossing techniques, dietary tips, and overall oral hygiene practices to support your long-term dental health.
