Preventative Dentistry

Bleeding gums, receding gums or frequent cavities can signal a need for preventive care. Risk factors like smoking, diabetes or poor hygiene raise issues. Persistent bad breath or tooth sensitivity may also mean it’s time for a dental checkup. 

Regular preventive visits include checkups, cleanings and sometimes fluoride or sealants. These services allow your dentist to monitor teeth and gums, remove plaque and tartar, and catch problems early to prevent cavities and gum disease.
