Preventive Care

^{Preventive Care}

What you see may not be what you get!!! When you look in the mirror, your teeth and gums may seem to be in good shape. However, only regular professional dental examination and X-Rays provide early detection of potentially developing problems which you may not even see or feel.

In our practice we urge you to come in for regular dental check-ups and continuous preventive care - they are really the keys to maintaining and upgrading excellent oral health.

Regular dental check-ups are especially important if you had cosmetic work done. You have invested quite a bit into your new smile. In order to maintain the quality and appearance of your new beautiful teeth we may need to see you more often. Because cosmetic dental work is really attractive to plaque build-up and food debris, we need to remove and clean it off before it has a chance to compromise your dazzling smile.

Preventive care is especially important for children. Let's face it - it's hard to find a kid, any kid of any age, whose oral hygiene and routine home care are perfect. When was the last time you actually didn't have to remind your child to go brush his or her teeth? Or do it twice a day every day? Right - you cannot recall. We can help you win this battle by examining your kids' teeth regularly and providing them with cleanings and fluoride applications which help prevent cavities.

Another wonderful service we offer for kids is sealants. With sealants we can seal out cavities and decay and do it fast, easy, and without any pain. We can help your child stay cavity-free for life by placing sealants on the chewing surfaces of permanent teeth.
