What’s Included in Preventive Dental Care?
Preventive care is the foundation of every healthy smile. It includes routine visits and practices that help stop problems before they start.
Routine Dental Exams
Comprehensive oral exams allow us to:
Detect decay or damage early
Check your gums for signs of disease
Monitor bite, jaw, and TMJ health
Examine past dental work for signs of wear
Identify oral cancer symptoms early
We recommend exams every 6 months for most patients, but we tailor the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors.
Dental Cleanings
Professional cleanings go beyond brushing and flossing to remove:
Plaque buildup in hard-to-reach areas
Hardened tartar (calculus) that can’t be removed at home
Surface stains from coffee, tea, or tobacco
Cleanings are performed gently and thoroughly by our hygiene team, leaving your teeth polished and refreshed. You’ll also receive tips for improving your home care.
Fluoride Treatments
Topical fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps reverse early signs of decay. We may recommend fluoride varnish for kids, adults with sensitive teeth, or patients prone to cavities.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are protective coatings placed on the chewing surfaces of molars to block out bacteria and food particles. They’re especially effective for children and teens, but adults with deep grooves in their molars can benefit too.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection is key to successful treatment. At every comprehensive exam, Dr. Priya or Dr. Moosavi will perform a quick, painless screening to check for unusual tissue, lumps, or color changes.
Digital X-Rays
We use low-radiation digital imaging to monitor your bone levels, roots, jaw joints, and tooth development (in kids). X-rays help us catch problems early, often before you feel symptoms.
Personalized Prevention Plans
Every patient is unique. Whether you struggle with dry mouth, grind your teeth at night, or have a family history of gum disease, we’ll customize a plan to protect your smile proactively.
Why Preventive Care Matters
Preventive dentistry isn’t just about clean teeth; it’s about:
Saving money by avoiding major procedures
Reducing dental anxiety with early, gentle care
Protecting overall health, as poor oral health is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and more
Building lifelong habits, especially for kids and teens
Preserving your natural teeth for as long as possible
When you invest in prevention, you invest in your future smile and your total wellness.
