Preventive dentistry at Smile Dental includes dental services that reduce your risk of oral health problems. It consists of in-office preventive dental treatments and exceptional at-home oral hygiene to properly care for your teeth, gums, and the rest of your mouth.
At Smile Dental, the highly trained team offers a wide range of preventive dentistry services. They professionally clean your teeth using specialized dental instruments, scrape away tartar and plaque in hard-to-reach areas, floss your teeth, and place dental sealants or fluoride on your teeth to reduce the risk of decay and gum disease.
Your Smile Dental provider takes dental X-rays to find early signs of bone loss or other dental problems requiring immediate treatment. They complete a thorough dental exam, including an oral cancer screening. Caring dentists discuss the results with you, answering any questions you might have regarding your oral health.
If your dentist finds tooth decay, injury, gum disease, or oral cancer, or any other oral health problem, they discuss the available treatments with you. The many cosmetic and restorative dental treatments available at Smile Dental include:
The Smile Dental team personalizes each oral health treatment to get the most effective, long-lasting results.

Eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables but low in sodas and sweets. Avoid chewing on hard objects, including ice, and wear a mouthguard at night if you grind your teeth.
