What is preventive (routine) dental care?

Preventive care focuses on protecting your teeth and gums before issues develop—or catching small concerns early while they are easy and affordable to treat. This includes exams, cleanings, X-rays when needed, fluoride, sealants, and personalized home-care guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I come in?
Most patients do well with visits every 6 months. For gum disease, visits every 3–4 months are recommended.
Cleanings remove plaque and surface stains. For a brighter shade, ask about our professional whitening options.
Yes. We use digital X-rays with extremely low radiation and take them only when necessary for accurate diagnosis.

A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar above the gums. A deep cleaning treats gum disease below the gums and may require numbing.

No. Adults with frequent cavities, dry mouth, or deep grooves can benefit greatly from both.
