Preventive Maintenance 

Good home care  is essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums but must be supplemented with regular dental visits at least every six to nine months.   Depending on the status of your oral health, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.

A preventive visit may include the following:

• Addressing any concerns you may be having
• Examining the soft tissues of your mouth for oral cancer indicators.
• Inspecting your teeth for decay, broken fillings, fractures, excessive wear, abrasion, erosion, and abscesses.
• Checking for loose contacts between teeth.
• Evaluating gums for inflammation, infection, tooth mobility, recession, and pockets.
• Looking for signs and symptoms of excessive grinding and clenching.
• Assessing oral hygiene and the risk of further tooth decay.
• Examining the fit of existing dentures, retainers, and splints.
• Taking digital radiographs at intervals tailored to your individual needs.
• Dental cleaning, or prophylaxis, which includes scaling, polishing, fluoride treatment, flossing, and oral hygiene education.
• Arranging a follow-up visit, if necessary, to address any issues discovered during the examination.​​
