Cleaning & Prevention
A focus on preventive dentistry helps you maintain the highest standard of oral health while limiting dental expenses. The relationship maintained between you and our team will help protect your smile now and well into the future.
Active prevention may include brushing and flossing twice a day, but many strategies and oral health aids exist that may fit your situation as well. Often patients are surprised to learn that a particular toothpaste, rinse, or specialized toothpick will serve them best and make all the difference in their health. Additionally, diet plays a critical role in oral health as well…acidic foods and drinks can accelerate deterioration of your teeth, while certain foods can strengthen your oral health by supporting your jaw and gums.
Although, regular dental exams and cleanings remain vital in preventing decay and gum disease as you keep daily prevention practices. That being said, with a proactive approach, together we can prevent minor issues from becoming major procedures.
Oral Cancer Screening
Every time you're in our chair, we review many aspects of your health. Subtle changes in the lining of your mouth call for a closer evaluation, regardless of whether you use tobacco or not. Early detection of oral cancer saves many lives every year, and we're trained to recognize a myriad of oral tissue abnormalities.

Teeth Cleaning
Everyone loves the smooth, glassy surface of freshly polished teeth. Our registered dental hygienists help you maintain optimal health, which goes far beyond polished enamel. With a regular preventive schedule, we can remove the bacterial deposits that lead to dental disease. But we can also monitor for silent problems, such as tooth decay or gum disease before they become major issues.
