Regular dental examinations are a foundation stone of preventative dentistry. They allow our dentists to pick up any problems with gums, teeth, soft tissue and occlusion before they become major issues that cause pain and require complex, costly treatment.

Without a doubt, prevention is a much easier path to tread than treatment. And we now know that poor oral hygiene can boost the risk of health issues including cardiac disease and oral cancers.

But we, your trusted dentists, are only half the equation. Patients play their crucial part by brushing their teeth twice a day with a good toothbrush, flossing daily, maintaining a healthy diet, reducing their intake of sugary drinks and food and keeping up with scheduled visits to the dentist.

Our preventative dentistry services include:

  • Advice on brushing, flossing and other dental care;
  • Thorough examinations of mouth, teeth and gums;
  • Professional teeth cleaning and scaling to remove any plaque and tartar build-up;
  • Application of dental sealants to reduce the risk of tooth decay;
  • And developing any necessary treatment plans to arrest small issues before they become major problems such as oral disease.
