Preventative Dental Care
Did you know that by maintaining a regular schedule of professional preventative care and good at-home hygiene, you can reduce your need for dental treatment? These simple steps, if maintained consistently, can keep your teeth in very good condition.
While everyone needs a little help from the dentist from time to time, it’s not too difficult to keep visits for fillings and other care to a minimum.
Professional Cleanings and Examinations
In addition to a good at-home routine, regular visits for professional cleanings and examinations are vital. Even if you brush and floss thoroughly, some tartar accumulates on your teeth which can only be removed by a professional hygienist. When it is removed on a regular schedule, cavities don’t have as much opportunity to develop.
These regularly-scheduled visits also give us a chance to spot any problems that might be developing. When we identify them while they are small, treatments are often short and easy. It’s when we don’t see you regularly that problems with teeth and gums can get out of hand.

Mouth Guards to Prevent Damage
