Preventive Care
The best dental care available is the dental care that doesn’t need to be done at all. Our number one objective for each of our patients is to help them enjoy their natural smiles for a lifetime. But, like any health matter, dental health can’t be taken for granted.
A lifetime of healthy smiles can be yours with a simple, two step plan:
- Learn and use proper home health habits, including brushing and flossing your teeth and mouth, and,
- Visit our office every 6 months for a thorough cleaning and exam.
Why come in every six months? When you come in every six months, first, for your professional teeth cleaning and polishing, we are able to keep the normal buildup of tartar and calculus off your teeth before it builds up and becomes a cement-like bomb shelter hiding the harmful bacteria that causes gum disease. We are now finding the same bacteria that can cause cavities and gum disease can also get into your bloodstream and is linked to increased risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer. When your hygienist clears away this tartar and calculus buildup she is making it easier for you to keep your mouth and teeth free of this bacteria.
During your six-month exam we are able to catch and control potential dental concerns before they become major problems requiring extensive and expensive treatment to restore your dental health. Your two visits per year can end up saving you thousands of dollars in unnecessary dental treatment over your lifetime.
