Preventative Care

Don't let your teeth and gums suffer any longer! We're here to help you keep them in tip-top shape with prevention. If we can stop gum disease or cavities before they become serious, then the damage will be limited—and maybe even reversible through treatment early on; this reduces future need for major surgery like crowns and fillings (which may not always work).

Brushing & Flossing Teeth

Brushing: Good dental hygiene is important to your oral health and wellbeing. You should brush twice per day, starting with brushing before bed because during this time period plaque can build up leading too cavities or gum disease which may affect you in many ways! It is important to brush your teeth at least twice per day because during the night, plaque can build up and cause cavities or gum disease.


Flossing: It truly is important to brush and floss your teeth daily. So many people don't realize how much plaque and toothpaste gets stuck in between our pearly whites! The C-shape technique will make sure you're cleaning all of this hard work away with one simple move, plus it helps reach places even bristles can’t touch.

What is Dental Sealants, & How Do They Help?

The dental sealant is a plastic coating that's applied to the grooves and pits of teeth on your chewing surface. The narrowest areas may not be able get bristles from an average brush into them, but with this product you'll never have any problems again! It will stop bacteria in its tracks before it starts causing damage or pain associated with tooth decay.

Fluoride Treatments 

Topical Fluoride is a vital tool in preventing tooth decay. It strengthens teeth after they have erupted by seeping into the outer enamel surface and making them more resistant to harm from bacteria, which causes cavities or gum disease! Topically applied fluoride can be found anywhere there’s an opportunity for prevention - like at your dentist's office every two years during checkups (when you might also get cleaned).


Systemic Fluoride strengthens teeth that haven't yet erupted and can even help with those who are already wearing their crowns. The most common source for systemic fluoride in our municipal water supply comes from sodium diets- so parents need to watch children when they brush their own pearly whites because too much of this stuff could cause white spots or dark brown stains on your kid’s smile!
