Cleanings and Prevention

A non-surgical preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff. The PATIENT is the most important participant in the fight against gum disease.  That is so because it is the patient who cares for the teeth on a daily basis. 

Preventing dental disease is far easier than fighting disease and it starts at home with thorough oral hygiene and a balanced diet.  The proper nutritional mix gives the body the fuel it needs to constantly fight disease and improve the health of the body.  Weaken the nutrition and the body weakens. The program is continued in the dental office by the efforts of our superb dental hygienist to promote, rebuild and help you maintain your oral health.

Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.

Prevention is made more durable by having the teeth in proper alignment and in balanced function.  This includes placing the best dental restorations possible: strong, ideally shaped and in functional balance.  This is restorative preventive dental care.

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

All quality cosmetic dentistry starts with a healthy mouth.  A healthy mouth starts with prevention.
