Cleaning – The Preventive Program

According to recent studies, good oral hygiene is essential not only for your dental health but also for your overall health and well-being. Our comprehensive dental hygiene program is designed to preserve your teeth and the supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental disease.

To maintain your optimal oral health, we recommend periodic professional dental cleanings. Removing plaque and debris from teeth, especially from places where a toothbrush can’t reach, like underneath the gum line and in-between teeth, is critical.

It is also important to keep in mind that a good dental home care regimen is necessary in conjunction with periodic dental professional cleanings. As part of the preventive program at this office, your current home care practices will be reviewed. Following that, we will make recommendations about what areas require improvements and instruct you on the proper methods of brushing and flossing.

Additional preventive services may be indicated for individual patients. An integral part of our preventive program for pediatric patients includes periodic fluoride treatments and the application of dental sealants.
