Preventative dental care is an approach to oral health where we screen for early signs of disease and offer therapeutic strategies that reduce your risk of dental problems. For example, scheduling a routine exam and professional cleaning every six months. During these visits, Dr. Guenther and Dr. Peacock will carefully screen for concerns while issues are still reversible or minimally invasive to correct. Most insurance plans cover two checkups per year.
Preventative dental cleanings remove the buildup that accumulates on your teeth between checkups. We also evaluate each of your teeth for signs of gum disease, wear, or tooth decay and offer personalized oral hygiene advice.
Low-dose imaging allows for early screening and diagnosis of common diseases, such as tooth decay and periodontitis. We also have an in-office 3D CBCT scanner for evaluating your complete oral anatomy.
Fluoride reduces your risk of tooth decay and sensitivity. It can also reverse the early stages of enamel demineralization. We recommend a fluoride treatment after each checkup.
Active periodontal disease is the #1 cause of adult tooth loss. By intercepting gum disease as early as possible, we can preserve your natural smile and better your overall health at the same time.
Oral cancer is a silent, deadly disease because it’s difficult to diagnose on your own. We screen for signs of oral cancer during every dental exam to allow for early intervention and lifesaving treatment.
Protective dental sealants help reduce the chances of getting cavities in the deep grooves of your back teeth. We recommend placing them on the permanent molars in most children.
