Preventative Treatments

Preventative dentistry focuses on helping you maintain and enhance your oral health. With regular hygiene appointments, we can spot and treat any issues or problems before they start or are allowed to worsen. Preventative dentistry includes hygiene care, removing plaque deposits from your teeth, and tips and advice for your oral hygiene routine at home.

Most people benefit from a visit to the hygienist for a scale and polish or air polish treatment twice a year. We may recommend you visit more or less regularly, depending on your oral health. If you are undergoing treatment for periodontal disease, you will have a series of regular treatments.

We recommend brushing twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste. Flossing once a day or using an interdental brush helps clean between teeth where brushing can’t reach.

Preventative dentistry can save you money in the long run by preventing the need for more expensive treatments like fillings, root canals, and extractions. It also helps maintain a healthy smile and fresh breath, boosting your confidence and overall well-being.
