Prevention: Not Just For Tooth Decay

When you hear us talk to you about how important it is to schedule your preventive care visits with our team and that they really must happen every six months, do you know why? If you’re thinking it’s because we feel very strongly about helping you keep clean teeth and avoid tooth decay, then you aren’t incorrect. Of course, preventing cavities is important. However, there are additional reasons prevention is so significant. Let’s make sure you know what they are.

Avoid Gum Problems, Too

Preventive care is not only for your teeth! It’s for your gum tissue, too. When you receive a dental cleaning with us (and a checkup) we address your gum health. Removing plaque and tartar buildup helps you avoid gingivitis. Our examination will reveal any type of sign that you may have gingivitis or that you may be headed in that direction, so we may help you correct it.

Maintain Excellent Nightly Sleep

Yep, it’s true! Preventive care can also help you sleep. This is because we offer sleep apnea treatment! This sleep disorder is often the result of oral and throat tissues collapsing and blocking your air passages. When we make a minor adjustment to your jaw’s positioning as you’re sleeping (with a mouth guard), the improvement is effective.

Detect Abnormalities Early

If a change happens that points to the development of oral cancer, our preventive care detects it. We provide oral cancer screenings when you see us for your visits. As a result, you don’t have to fret. We find and suggest treatment right away.

Prevent Damage From Functional Disorders

Worried about problems like grinding, clenching, and jaw joints disorders? We treat bruxism and TMJ disorder preventively, too, so they don’t have time to cause harm.
