Preventive dentistry is the practice of maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping your teeth healthy. Dorri’s Dental encourages periodic full mouth exams and cleanings twice a year and keeping up with proper at-home hygiene.
During a cleaning, your provider removes plaque and tartar buildup to avoid cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
The team builds long-lasting relationships with adolescents and adults and uses preventive dentistry appointments to monitor their oral health as they age.
Preventive dentistry focuses on removing bacteria from your mouth. Removing this bacteria supports your oral and overall physical health.
Other preventive dentistry benefits include:
Preventive dentistry is vital if you have conditions that can affect your oral health, like diabetes, an eating disorder, cancer, osteoporosis, or if you’re pregnant. The team ensures you maintain a bright, healthy smile.
Dorri’s Dental offers a complete and thorough full mouth exam. They may utilize a state-of-the-art 3D X-ray or CT scan if needed. This helps your provider get a more precise image of your mouth.
Other preventive dentistry services include:
Your provider may use an intraoral camera to get a better look at your teeth at your bi-annual cleanings. The photos allow your provider to identify concerns early on, like tooth decay, shifting, or gum disease. They can also quickly assess any changes in your oral health.
Preventive services like cleanings and exams should occur every six months. If a problem occurs at any time, emergency dental appointments are available.
