Ongoing Care

We would rather help you avoid dental problems than treat them. Consistent preventative care is the least expensive and least invasive dentistry there is.

A preventative visit includes

  • Professional cleaning and removal of tartar
  • Thorough examination for decay and early problems
  • X-rays when they are needed for diagnosis
  • Practical guidance on your at-home routine

Every Six Months, and Why It Matters

By cleaning away tartar and polishing your teeth roughly every six months, you meaningfully reduce your risk of cavities. A regular schedule of examinations, cleanings and X-rays is what allows us to catch problems while they are still small.

That schedule is often what stands between a simple filling and root canal therapy, an extraction, or more serious treatment.

Preventing Gum Disease Too

Preventative care doesn't only stop tooth decay — it also prevents gum disease. If gum disease is allowed to reach its advanced stages, it has been associated with heart disease, stroke, respiratory problems and pregnancy complications.

A consistent schedule of cleanings and examinations is an investment in your long-term health, not just your smile.
