Regular Check-ups
Bi-annual dental examinations to monitor your oral health and detect any potential issues early. Even with excellent home care, regular dental check-ups are essential. We recommend most patients visit us every six months for a check-up and cleaning. We will develop a customized care plan to best meet your oral health needs.
Professional Cleanings
Remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can't reach.
Dental X-rays
Detect issues beneath the surface of your teeth and gums that aren't visible during a visual examination.
Fluoride Treatments
Strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay, especially for children and adults at higher risk.
Dental Sealants
Protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent decay.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection is crucial for successful treatment of oral cancer.
Home Care Tips
While professional preventative care is essential, your daily oral hygiene routine plays a crucial role in maintaining your dental health between visits.
- Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss daily to remove plaque from between teeth
- Eat a balanced diet and limit sugary foods and drinks
- Don't smoke or use tobacco products
- Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months - we highly encourage a good quality electric toothbrush like a SoniCare brush
- Wear a mouthguard during sports activities
