Preventative & Maintenance
Optimal dental health begins with a comprehensive and tailored office and at-home regimen. We will determine your proper recall schedule depending on the current and past condition of your teeth and supporting structures (gums and bone levels). Our certified and highly trained hygienists will work closely with the Doctors to customize your at home schedule and recommend a reasonable list of products and techniques to optimize your oral health between dental visits. Remember, long-lasting and healthy teeth come with effort on both our part and yours… it is a partnership.
These preventative procedures include:
Oral hygiene instruction (brushing, flossing and cleaning gums)
Cavities/caries control and prevention
Diet recommendations
Fluoridation/fluoride supplements
Infection control (practiced throughout every procedure)
Mouthguards
Plaque control
Sealants
X-rays (Full mouth series, FMX, every 5 years and bite-wing X-rays, BWX, every 1.5 to 2 years. This schedule is considered to be the standard of care by American Dental Association standards).
