Preventative Dentistry
As a practice, we are true believers that preventive care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, and taking digital radiographs when necessary.

How To Care For Your Teeth Through Preventive Dental Care
Periodontal disease and decay are both caused by bacterial plaque. Plaque is a colorless film, which sticks to your teeth at the gumline. Plaque constantly forms on your teeth. By thorough daily brushing and flossing you can remove these germs and help prevent periodontal disease.
Brushing Tips
Flossing Tips
- Gently insert the floss tightly between the teeth using a back-and-forth motion
- Bring the floss to the gum line then curve it into a C-shape against one tooth
- Slide it into the space between the gum and the tooth until you feel light resistance
- Move the floss up and down on the side of one tooth
- When you are done, rinse vigorously with water to remove plaque and food particles
