What is Preventive Care?

Preventive care protects your teeth and gums from future issues and maintains your oral health.

Professional Cleanings – Our cleanings remove plaque in hard-to-reach areas.
Preventative Treatments– We offer specialized treatments to prevent decay.
Daily Care – We provide guidance on proper brushing and flossing.

Professional cleanings are recommended every 6-12 months to avoid major treatments like root canals or dental crowns.

Deep Cleaning – Our special tools provide a deeper clean than daily brushing.
Expert Consultation – Dr. E educates you on the best dental care routine for you.
Tailored Advice – We can recommend ideal products for your unique needs.

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to back teeth to prevent tooth decay, especially in children.

Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens teeth against acid attacks from bacteria and sugars, helping to prevent decay.

We offer professional fluoride treatments in gels, foams, or varnishes, including Vanish™ 5% Sodium Fluoride White Varnish.

Vanish™ Varnish – Our product of choice, it adheres to teeth and is virtually invisible.
Easy Application – The product is applied directly to the tooth in a thin coat.
Sensitivity Relief – It also helps to treat sensitive teeth and exposed dentin.

During your dental exam, we screen for oral cancer to identify potential issues early when they are most treatable.

Early Detection – Our goal is to identify cancer at an early, curable stage.
Visual Exam – We check for patches or sores and feel for any lumps.
High-Risk Factors – We assess for tobacco and alcohol use and other risk factors.

We use advanced Identafi® technology, which uses multiple light wavelengths to detect abnormalities that are not visible to the naked eye.

Multi-Spectral Technology – Identafi® uses white, violet, and amber light.
Enhanced Visualization – It helps us distinguish between normal and abnormal tissue.
Improved Confidence – Provides more visual information for improved results.

Digital dental X-rays are a vital tool for detecting hidden damage to your gums and teeth that we cannot see with a visual exam.

Less Radiation – We use digital technology for significantly lower radiation exposure.
High-Quality Images – Our images are enhanced for better accuracy and diagnosis.
No Chemicals – We avoid chemical developers for a safer, more eco-friendly process.

For new and returning patients, Dr. E uses digital X-rays to thoroughly assess your oral health and detect any hidden issues before treatment.
