Preventive Care

Outstanding dental hygiene is the key to good health & well-being. Tooth loss is an inherent risk for anyone who fails to take proper care of their teeth.

Preventive care—which includes frequent dental cleanings and exams (a minimum of two a year), brushing teeth at least twice a day, and flossing daily—is vital to optimum oral health. It can help you keep your natural teeth for a lifetime.

Bad breath for example can be caused by tooth decay, gum disease, lack of saliva (xerostomia), certain foods and drinks, tobacco, medications or illness. If you have a dental problem, your dentist will recommend a course of treatment to stop any infection, clean and restore your teeth, and improve the health of your gums.

Dental X-Rays

A full-mouth series of x-rays is the first step in a thorough dental examination. It gives us vital information we can’t get from any other source.
