Preventive Care

We focus on preventive care and education as the vital path to achieving and maintaining your healthy smile.  A complete oral exam, including an oral cancer screening and periodontal probings to measure the health of your gum tissue is a must!

  • Fluoride Treatment: Helps strengthen the enamel of your teeth reducing the risk of cavities for children and adults


  • Sealants: A plastic coating placed on the biting surface of 6 year and 12 year molars to help prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of these teeth


  • Prophylaxis: "Cleaning" or removing the build up of calculus, stain and tartar regular daily brushing and flossing does not


  • Periodontal Treatment: Includes treatment for gingivitis and soft tissue management in order to treat (not cure) periodontal disease


  • Root Planing & Scaling: Deep "cleaning" with anesthesia if needed, in order to remove stubborn calculus and tartar buildup below the gumline


  • Antibiotic Therapy: Placing an antibiotic below the gumline in conjunction with scaling and root planing to fight active infection and promote healing


  • Periodontal Maintenance: More frequent prophylaxis (3 or 4 month intervals instead of 6 month intervals) in order to prevent calculus, tartar and bacteria from reaching damaging levels
