In many cases, the key to future dental problems is Early Prevention. The forces of tooth decay, periodontal disease, and problems resulting from clenching and grinding are ongoing. We take a systematic approach to your “preventive maintenance” by proactively looking for any problems and keeping careful records that are reviewed during each visit so we can assess any changes.
We offer the following preventive dentistry services:
We begin every exam by taking your blood pressure. Many people don’t have theirs checked often enough!
- Cleaning or Hygiene
- Dental Sealants
- Fluoride (for adults and children)
- Precision Detection of Decay Using Diagnodent
- Regular Checkups
- Patient Education
- Snoreguards
- Nightguards
- Sportsguards
- We also conduct a thorough analysis of your bite—we are looking for any possible signs of TMJ (Temporal Mandibular Joint) Disorder. When this joint is not functioning properly, you may experience problems such as frequent headaches and/or neck pain, chipped or worn teeth, or excessive sensitivity of the teeth to hot or cold beverages or foods.
