Preventive Dentistry
Preventive Dentistry deals with the prevention of dental disease. Each patient receives a customized prevention plan based on a thorough evaluation of his or her mouth at the time of the initial oral examination. This is a dynamic plan that is revised during subsequent periodic examinations.
Our most common Preventive Procedures are:
- Individualized oral hygiene instruction - to help the patient learn how to take care of his or her own mouth. (brushing) (flossing) (nutrition & health)
- Fluoride treatments - to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent decay. (more info)
- Sealants - to protect cavity prone areas in childrens teeth. (more info)
- Athletic Mouthguards - to help prevent sports injuries to the teeth. (more info)
