Preventive Care

To keep your smile healthy, it is important to maintain a consistent at-home oral care routine and attend dental exams and cleanings twice a year. In some cases, we may recommend more frequent visits, especially if you have gum disease or are at risk of developing it. Our team will evaluate your oral health and suggest the appropriate number of preventive visits during your next appointment.

Both children and adults can benefit from dental sealants and fluoride treatments to protect and strengthen their teeth. These services are recommended to promote positive oral health from a young age and also serve as excellent preventive care for adults. Dental sealants are long-lasting once applied, and fluoride treatments can be performed during regular preventive visits or as needed.

Patients can easily recognize the need for a custom athletic mouthguard, but determining whether you need a nightguard for TMJ or bruxism can be more challenging. If you are experiencing symptoms such as jaw soreness, frequent headaches, or jaw clicking or popping, please inform our team. We can also assess your teeth and gums for signs of dental trauma and gum recession to help form a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan for you.
