Preventative dentistry is the combination of at-home oral health care and regular dental exams and cleaning. Together, they give you the best chance of avoiding tooth decay and gum disease.

Oral Hygiene
Brushing and flossing at home will remove food particles and plaque from your teeth, but they won’t remove tartar. Tartar is harder than bone and can only be removed by a trained hygienist using special tools. During an oral hygiene appointment, the hygienist will remove tartar and built-up plaque and clean and polish your teeth.
Dental Exam
Regular dental exams are crucial to detecting and treating dental problems before they become serious. During an exam, our dentist will check your teeth for signs of damage or decay, and they’ll also check the overall health of your mouth and throat. The exam will include an oral cancer screening and we may take X-rays to monitor the health of your teeth below the gumline.
