Cleanings & Prevention

A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.

Preventing dental disease begins at home with proper oral hygiene and a balanced diet. This effort continues in the dental office, where your dentist and dental hygienist work together to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.

Prevention also involves regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride treatments are also valuable preventive measures that help protect your teeth.

Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.
