Preventive care is essential for maintaining a healthy, vibrant smile. Dr. Rajeev Gowda, Dr. Julia LeCavalier and our team prioritize protecting your teeth and gums from potential damage caused by tooth decay, gum disease and other dental issues. By focusing on preventive dentistry, we aim to stop these problems before they require more extensive treatment.
Our preventive care services are designed to keep your smile in the best possible health. These include:
- Dental Cleanings: Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be eliminated by brushing and flossing alone.
- Dental Sealants: These are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars to prevent cavities.
- Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride strengthens your tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay.
In addition to these treatments, our dentists and team encourage you to follow these daily oral hygiene practices to further prevent dental issues:
- Brush and Floss Daily: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste. Floss at least once a day to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth and along the gumline.
- Healthy Diet: Maintain a balanced diet and limit your intake of sugary and acidic foods, which can contribute to tooth decay and enamel erosion.
- Regular Dental Visits: Schedule routine dental exams and cleanings at least twice a year. These visits allow us to detect and address any early signs of dental problems before they become more severe.
Preventive care is a collaborative effort between you and our dental team. By adhering to these guidelines and taking advantage of our preventive services, you can ensure a healthier smile and avoid more complex dental treatments in the future.
