What Is Preventive Dental Care & Who Needs It?
This branch of dentistry is a necessity for patients of all ages and from all walks of life. It’s focused on helping patients understand how important it is for them to prioritize keeping their smiles strong with daily flossing, twice daily brushing, regular visits to our office, and sound nutritional habits. By making diligent daily hygiene habits a must, patients can avoid the need for restorative services in the short and long term, saving them time, money, and unnecessary damage to their smiles!
Which Preventive Services Do We Offer At Grand Ledge Smiles?
Cleanings & Checkups: Regular cleanings and checkups are essential for keeping your smile strong! Visual and diagnostic examinations help ensure that any developing or existing issues can be quickly identified and treated, while teeth cleanings ensure that harmful plaque and tartar build-up are removed, protecting your teeth and gums from future issues.
Oral Cancer Screenings: Routine oral cancer screenings are a vital service we provide that allows our team to examine your neck, tongue, throat, and gums for any existing or developing issues. This service is especially important for patients who smoke, drink, or have a family history of the disease.
Dental Sealants: Sealants are protective coverings that work to protect your molars and premolars from decay-causing bacteria. When cared for diligently, they can protect teeth for up to 10 years!
Sports Mouthguard: A tailor-made, durable, and comfortable mouthguard that shields your teeth, gums, and jaws while you play, sports mouthguards provide reliable protection, minimizing your risk for tooth loss, head injuries, and more during a wide variety of contact sports activities.
Fluoride Treatment: Fluoride reinforces tooth enamel and helps prevent tooth decay. These applications are beneficial for all, but they’re especially helpful for patients who are more susceptible to cavities.
Tooth Extractions: When a tooth is causing intense pain and/or pressure when chewing, removal may be necessary. If this is the case, our caring and experienced team will develop a treatment plan to help.
Perio Laser: A minimally invasive service, laser treatment for gum disease can nip the source of infection in the bud while promoting healthy gums.
Our team would love to provide care that helps you prevent oral health issues, preserves your smile, and benefits your overall health for life. Have questions, or do you need to schedule a preventive dentistry appointment? Contact us at Grand Ledge Smiles today!
