Preventative Dentistry
Once your periodontal treatment has been completed, your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend that you have regular maintenance cleanings (periodontal cleanings), usually four times a year. At these appointments, the gums will be carefully checked to ensure that they are healthy. Plaque and calculus that is difficult for you to remove on a daily basis will be removed from above and below the gum line. Your home care and the need for diagnostic x-rays will reviewed and modified to address your specific needs.

Fluoride has proven to be effective in minimizing childhood and adult cavities and tooth decay. Fluoride is a key ingredient in many popular brands of toothpaste, gels, and mouthwash, and can also be found in most community water supplies. Fluoride is an important part of any good preventative oral care routine and is especially effective when used as part of a good oral hygiene regimen.
Sealants are a great way to keep your child’s and some young adult teeth protected and free of decay.
