Preventive Dentistry deals with the prevention of dental disease. Each patient receives a customized prevention plan based on a thorough evaluation of his or her mouth at the time of the initial oral examination.

This is a dynamic plan that is revised during subsequent periodic examinations.

  Our most common Preventive Procedures are:

• Individualized oral hygiene instruction
  to help the patient learn how to take care of his or her own mouth.
  
  
• Sealants
  to protect cavity prone areas in permanent teeth.
  
  
• Athletic Mouthguards
  to help prevent sports injuries to the teeth.
  
  
• Nightguards
  to minimize wear from clenching and grinding teeth at night.
  
  
• Reinforcement
  of teeth that are cracked, to prevent breakage.
  
  
• DIAGNOdent
  We use DIAGNOdent laser technology to aid in diagnosis of questionable areas that may be starting decay, so we can address decay in the earliest stages.
