Preventive Dentistry FAQs
How often should I see the dentist for preventive care?
We recommend visiting every six months for cleanings and exams, though some patients may need more frequent visits.
Are preventive services covered by dental insurance?
Most insurance plans cover preventive care at little to no cost. We are in-network with Delta Dental Premier, Health Team Advantage, and Liberty Dental, and we file all insurance claims as a courtesy.
Can preventive dentistry help children?
Yes! Preventive dentistry is essential for children. Services like sealants, fluoride treatments, and cleanings protect developing teeth.
Professional Teeth Cleaning & Exams
Routine cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach. Regular exams allow our dentists to catch small problems before they become bigger issues.
Dental Sealants
Sealants provide an extra layer of protection by sealing the grooves in your back teeth, preventing cavities in hard-to-reach areas.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens enamel, making your teeth more resistant to decay. This is especially helpful for children and patients prone to cavities.
Digital X-Rays & Imaging
Advanced imaging helps us detect cavities, bone loss, and other concerns early, so treatment can begin before issues worsen.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection saves lives. We provide oral cancer screenings at every checkup to monitor your mouth for any unusual changes.
Custom Mouth Guards
Protect your teeth from nighttime grinding (bruxism) or sports injuries with a professionally fitted mouth guard.
Periodontal (Gum) Care
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our team offers periodontal maintenance and treatments to prevent gum disease and preserve oral health.
