Preventative dentistry
Preventive dentistry focuses on small, consistent steps that help protect your teeth and gums before issues arise. Cleanings, exams, and simple treatments like sealants or fluoride strengthen your smile and reduce the likelihood of cavities, gum disease, and future dental emergencies. These visits also help us monitor changes and offer guidance tailored to your goals.
By staying ahead of problems, preventive dentistry keeps treatments comfortable, predictable, and cost-effective. It also gives you ongoing support — whether that means refining your brushing routine or addressing early signs of wear, sensitivity, or inflammation.
Why preventive care matters
Prevention is the most effective way to protect your oral health. Small steps now reduce the need for more complex care later and help keep your smile comfortable.
What happens during preventive care
Depending on your needs, your visit may include a cleaning, exam, X-rays, or preventive treatments like fluoride or sealants. We review everything we see and help you build a plan that fits your lifestyle.
