PERSONALIZED PREVENTATIVE CARE
How We Prevent & Protect Your Oral Health
Our dentist will advise on the best schedule for recall appointments. Generally, healthy patients who do not have risk factors for dental disease will visit us for recall appointments once every six months or two times per year. We follow up with patients more frequently if they have comorbidities, such as diabetes, or other risk factors for conditions like advanced gum disease.
During these visits, one of our talented dental hygienists cleans your teeth and gums using special techniques and instruments. These professional cleanings help prevent plaque build-up, which contributes to dental decay and gingival disease. Cleanings are also essential to remove surface stains, keep your teeth a dazzling white, and combat bad breath!

PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is preventive dentistry and why is it important?
Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums to avoid dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. By identifying issues early, we can treat them before they become painful or costly, helping you maintain a confident smile for life.
How often should I visit the dentist for preventive care?
For most healthy patients, we recommend a dental checkup and professional cleaning every six months. Patients with higher risk factors, such as diabetes or gum disease, may need more frequent visits to ensure optimal oral health.
What happens during a preventive dental visit?
Preventive visits include a thorough dental exam by the dentist, professional cleaning by our hygienists, and advanced diagnostics to detect hidden issues. We also review your oral hygiene routine, provide guidance on brushing and flossing, and suggest additional preventive treatments if needed.
Can preventive dentistry help reduce dental costs in the long run?
Absolutely. By catching problems early and maintaining healthy teeth and gums, preventive dentistry can reduce the need for costly restorative procedures like fillings, root canals, or crowns, saving you time, money, and discomfort in the future.
