Preventive Care
In Redmond

Preventive care encompasses a range of treatments and practices designed to prevent the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions. It helps you maintain healthy teeth and gums and reduces the need for more extensive and costly treatments in the future.

Why Should I Get

Preventive Care?

Preventive care is essential for keeping your oral health in check and avoiding the development of dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Regular visits allow for early detection and treatment, so your smile can stay healthy and vibrant for years to come.

Cleaning & Hygiene

Professional cleanings and hygiene appointments involve the removal of plaque and tartar from your teeth, particularly in areas hard to reach with brushing and flossing alone. These visits also provide an opportunity for you to learn solid hygiene habits to maintain your oral health.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays are a crucial part of preventive care, offering a detailed view of your oral structure beneath the surface. They help identify hidden problems such as early signs of decay, impacted teeth, cysts, tumors, and bone loss.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments strengthen the enamel on your teeth, making them more resistant to decay. This preventive measure is especially beneficial for patients at high risk of cavities.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a preventive treatment that involves applying a protective coating to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). This barrier protects the enamel from plaque and acids, which reduces the risk of cavities in these vulnerable areas.

Periodontal Care

Periodontal care focuses on maintaining the health of your gums and the structures that support your teeth. Regular assessments and treatments, such as scaling and root planing, help prevent gum disease and its associated complications. Periodontal care plays a crucial role in preserving your overall oral health.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer screenings detect early signs of cancer in the mouth. This quick and painless process involves examining your mouth for any signs of cancerous or precancerous conditions, helping to catch the disease early when it's most treatable.

Night Guards

Night guards are custom-made devices worn during sleep to protect the teeth from the effects of bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ disorders. They help to reduce jaw pain, prevent tooth damage, and promote better sleep patterns by alleviating the stress on your teeth and jaw.

Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. It provides preventive care, restorative treatments, and education on good oral hygiene habits in a child-friendly environment.

Laser Dentistry

Laser technology allows us to perform various dental procedures with precision and minimal discomfort. It offers benefits such as reduced bleeding, faster healing times, and the ability to precisely target and treat decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues without damaging surrounding tissues.
