Preventive Dental Treatments We Offer

  • Exams: Routine exams help detect early signs of dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer, allowing for prompt intervention.
  • Cleanings: Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can’t reach, helping to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Radiographs (X-rays): Dental X-rays allow us to detect hidden problems, such as cavities between teeth, infections, or bone loss, ensuring we address issues before they become severe.
  • Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride strengthens the enamel of your teeth, making them more resistant to decay. These treatments are particularly beneficial for children and individuals at higher risk of cavities.
