Fight Dental Disease With Advanced Preventive Care

Dental disease is a widespread problem. About 92 percent of adults between the ages of 20 and 64 have had dental decay, and about 50 percent of adults 30 or older have experienced issues with gum disease. So it’s important to have access to high-tech care to eliminate dental disease and even prevent problems before they occur. This means visiting our office every six months for your teeth cleanings and exams.
During your checkups, one of our dental hygienists will start by removing the plaque and tartar from your teeth. The bacteria in plaque and tartar can cause tooth decay, so it’s important to remove these harmful substances professionally. Once your teeth are clean, we’ll polish them to make it harder for plaque to stick. You’ll also have access to:

  • Digital X-rays — These X-rays, which omit about 90 percent less radiation than traditional X-rays, allow us to effectively diagnose dental problems.
  • Spectra Caries Detection Aid — This special imaging tool is a handheld device that allows us to detect even the slightest bit of tooth decay with a fluorescent light.
  • Fluoride Treatment — Studies have found that fluoride, a natural substance, reduces the risk of tooth decay. We can apply professional-strength fluoride during your routine exams.
  • Custom Mouthguards — Once a year we provide custom athletic mouthguards for kids for free. Our custom mouthguards fit better than boil-and-bite guards and protect the teeth better.
