Regular visits to the dentist have a bigger purpose. Sure, you come out with a fresh and clean feeling, but did you know that your appointment goes deeper? In reality, your regular hygiene appointments screen for developing dental issues. We’re looking for cavities, screening for oral cancer, and checking the overall health of your mouth which includes your gums, teeth, jaw, and airway. Take a look at why preventative dentistry is our priority.

Preserve your smile

It’s easier to maintain a healthy condition than it is to reverse damage. A healthy smile should not be taken for granted. Dental restorations are time consuming and pricey, but with preventative dentistry, we can avoid having to do a complete smile makeover. Let’s catch the issues early and keep your mouth in its best condition.

General health

Did you know gum disease is directly linked to general health problems like heart disease and diabetes? We can work with you to defeat gum disease. All it takes is proper home habits, like brushing and flossing at least two times a day and cutting out sugar, and regular dental visits for appropriate gum therapy. Together we can reduce your risk of developing significant general health issues. You should also consider regular oral cancer screenings … it could save your life.

Save money and more

Healthy teeth and gums aren’t your only priority. How about saving yourself time and money? The cost of toothpaste and other dental supplies pales in comparison to major dental procedures. Your immediate investment in preventative care can spare you from a major investment in corrective procedures and more. It doesn’t stop there. You’ll also save yourself hours in the dentist chair and time spent at the dentist’s office. Your time and money are valuable … hold onto them.
