Preventative Dentistry

Taking care of your mouth ( Preventative Dentistry) will promote overall health, according to recent studies. For instance, periodontal disease (a.k.a. gum disease) has been linked to heart disease, stroke, respiratory problems, dementia and Alzheimer’s, diabetes complications, and low birth weight. In addition, oral cancer claims 7500 lives annually. Treating gum disease and oral cancer early yields the best outcome – it could save your smile and your life. Furthermore, strong teeth and healthy gums will allow you to eat a nutritious diet, smile with confidence, and enjoy comfortable oral function for the long term.

We recommend six-month checkups and professional cleaning for every patient, and we treat patients of all ages.

Preventative Dentistry - For Children

Children as young as two or three years old should visit the dentist to ensure proper tooth development and thwart problems in the early stage. If you have a concern about your child’s teeth or oral health at any time, call us for a consultation.

Many patients don’t know that snoring, sleep apnea, jaw clicking, and migraine headaches can be relieved with dentist-administered oral appliances. If you suffer from these symptoms, we want to help you overcome them!

If you have not scheduled a checkup lately, be sure to call us now to make your appointment! Children as young as two should visit the dentist, and by age four or five, a child should attend regular checkups.
