Family + Preventative Dentistry

Treating the Whole Family

It’s very important to teach your children good dental hygiene habits early, and that includes your regular dental visits.

This is when we can talk to everyone in the family about preventative dental treatments (at home and in the office) that will help your growing children maintain healthy and beautiful smiles.

We also take this time to check out things like the bite alignment of the bite and make sure that teeth aren’t coming in too tight and crowded. Once we know what’s going on, we can recommend the best course of action.

It All Starts with a Checkup

You should get a regular checkup at least twice a year. This will include x-rays, periodontal screenings, checks for cavities, and oral cancer screenings.

We can then recommend a number of treatments, from sealants and fillings to fluoride treatments and cosmetic solutions.

Get a Professional Cleaning

The best oral health comes from a combination of at-home practices and in-office treatments. No matter how much you brush, there’s always a chance that something is left behind. It requires a deep cleaning to:

• Remove tartar – This extremely hard substance is nearly impossible to remove at home.
• Remove plaque – Plaque can get in really hard-to-reach places and lead to tartar and gum disease.
• Polish teeth – We can remove stains that build up over time.
