What Is Preventative Dentistry?
Preventative dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Our services include routine cleanings, exams, and treatments that support a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Our Preventative Dentistry Services
At Sahara Family Dentistry, we offer a wide range of preventative services tailored to your unique needs:
1. Professional Teeth Cleanings
Remove plaque, tartar, and stains to keep your teeth healthy and bright. Regular dental cleanings also reduce your risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
2. Comprehensive Dental Exams
During your exam, our dentists will check for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other concerns. We use advanced tools like digital X-rays for accurate diagnosis.
3. Fluoride Treatments
Strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities with fluoride applications. This simple treatment is especially beneficial for children and teens.
4. Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, preventing food and bacteria from causing decay. They’re a great option for kids and adults prone to cavities.
5. Oral Cancer Screenings
We provide thorough screenings to detect early signs of oral cancer, improving the chances of successful treatment.
6. Occlusal Guards
Protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) or prevent sports injuries with custom-made guards designed for maximum comfort and protection. Learn more about sports and occlusal guards.
Benefits of Preventative Dentistry
Preventative dental care offers numerous benefits for patients of all ages, including:
- Early Detection: Catching issues early prevents more serious complications later.
- Cost Savings: Regular checkups and cleanings are more affordable than restorative treatments.
- Healthier Teeth and Gums: Prevention helps avoid cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.
- Improved Overall Health: Good oral health reduces the risk of systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
How Often Should You Visit the Dentist?
We recommend visiting our office every six months for a professional cleaning and exam. However, patients with specific concerns, like gum disease, may need more frequent visits.
To maintain optimal oral health between appointments:
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss every day to remove food particles and plaque.
- Use mouthwash to reduce bacteria.
