Other Preventive Care Services We Provide
Preventive dental care goes beyond routine cleanings. Our goal is to protect your teeth and gums, detect potential issues early, and maintain your overall oral-systemic health. From innovative cleaning techniques and protective treatments to thorough exams and specialized care, our services are designed to keep your smile healthy and strong for life.
Explore our range of preventive treatments below to see how we safeguard your oral health and help you enjoy long-term wellness.
Scaling and root planing is a deeper cleaning that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line. This treatment reduces bacteria, prevents periodontal disease, and protects both your oral and systemic health.
Regular maintenance, usually every 6 months or as frequently as 3 months for gum disease patients, keeps your mouth in top condition.
Newly developing teeth are vulnerable to cavities. Dental sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces, making teeth easier to clean and more resistant to decay. This simple, preventive treatment is especially effective for children and teens.
Early detection saves lives. During extraoral and intraoral exams, we assess your head, neck, lymph nodes, and oral tissues.
Our SPOROCARE digital camera and Oravital testing help identify infections and abnormalities early, giving you the best chance at prevention and treatment.
For advanced gum disease not controlled by noninvasive treatments, periodontal surgery may be recommended. Our dentists carefully remove infected tissue, perform scaling and root planing, and promote healing to restore healthy gums and prevent further damage.
Our dental hygienists provide comprehensive preventive care beyond cleaning, including:
- Oral cancer screening
- Nutritional counselling for cavity prevention
- Personalized hygiene plans
- Support with orthodontics and restorations
Healthy breathing is an important part of lifelong oral health. During preventive visits, we evaluate tongue posture, airway development, bite function, and signs of mouth breathing, clenching, or sleep-disordered breathing.
Identifying these concerns early allows us to recommend proactive treatments that support healthier breathing, better sleep, and proper oral development.
Sleep and Airway Health
Your oral health can provide important insight into how you breathe and sleep. During preventive exams, our team looks for signs of airway concerns such as mouth breathing, clenching, grinding, TMJ discomfort, snoring, and disrupted sleep patterns.
By identifying these concerns early, we can help guide patients toward appropriate treatment options, including home sleep studies, oral appliances, myofunctional therapy, orthodontics, and collaborative care with sleep physicians when needed.
