According to recent studies good oral hygiene is essential not only for your dental health, it is important to your overall health and well-being. Our comprehensive dental hygiene program is designed to preserve your teeth and the supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental disease.
To maintain your optimal oral health we recommend periodic professional dental cleanings. Removing plaque and debris from teeth, especially from places where a toothbrush can't reach, like underneath the gum line and in-between teeth is extremely important.
It is also important to keep in mind that in conjunction with periodic dental professional cleanings, a good dental home care regimen is necessary. As part of the preventive program at this office your current home care practices will be reviewed. Following that, we will make recommendations as to what areas require improvements, and instruct you in the proper methods of brushing and flossing.
Additional preventive services may be indicated for individual patients. An integral part of our preventive program for pediatric patients includes periodic fluoride treatments and the application of dental sealants.
A dental preventive program is a comprehensive approach to oral hygiene designed to protect your teeth and gums by stopping dental disease before it starts, or catching it early before it progresses.
Periodic professional cleanings are recommended to remove plaque and debris from areas a toothbrush can't reach, such as below the gumline and between teeth. Your dentist will recommend a personalized schedule based on your oral health needs.
Even with a solid home care routine, plaque and tartar build up in hard-to-reach spots over time. Professional cleanings remove buildup that home brushing and flossing simply can't reach.
Yes. As part of the preventive program, your current home care habits are reviewed, and you'll receive personalized recommendations and instruction on proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Pediatric patients benefit from additional preventive care, including periodic fluoride treatments and dental sealants, which help protect young teeth from decay.
Dental sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of teeth to help prevent decay. They're commonly recommended for pediatric patients as part of a preventive dental program.
Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel and protect against cavities, and are an important part of pediatric preventive dental care.
Good oral hygiene isn't just about your teeth. Research shows it plays a role in your overall health and well-being, making preventive dental care an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
A preventive visit typically includes a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, a review of your at-home oral care habits, and personalized recommendations, plus additional services like fluoride or sealants for eligible patients.
