General and Preventative Care

The Importance of Prevention

At Dental Greetings, we firmly believe that prevention is better than a cure. Regular maintenance and check-ups are crucial for maintaining optimal dental health. Our dentists are dedicated to achieving the best possible dental health for all their patients. Your initial comprehensive exam will cover everything from your teeth to your gums, palate, tongue, jaw, and joint issues.

What is General and Preventative Dental Care?

General and preventative dental care includes practices and treatments aimed at maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems. These services, typically provided by dentists and dental hygienists, include the following:

general checkup

Regular Dental Exams

Routine check-ups to assess the overall health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. We examine for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental issues during these exams.

Dental Cleanings

Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. Even with regular brushing and flossing, some areas can be challenging to clean thoroughly without professional help.

X rays

X-rays

Dental X-rays detect hidden dental problems such as cavities, impacted teeth, and bone loss. They are essential for diagnosing oral health issues early.

oral hygiene

Oral Hygiene Instructions

Guidance on proper brushing, flossing, and overall oral hygiene practices to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums between dental visits.

fluride treatment

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent tooth decay. We recommend fluoride treatments for both children and adults, especially those at higher risk of cavities.

Sealants

Sealants

Thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to protect them from decay. Commonly recommended for children but also beneficial for adults with deep grooves in their teeth.

Mouthguard

Mouthguards

Custom-fitted mouthguards for individuals who participate in contact sports or grind their teeth at night (bruxism). They protect the teeth from damage and prevent injuries to the mouth and jaw.

Nutritional Counseling

Nutritional Counselling

Advice on a balanced diet that promotes good oral health. Certain foods and beverages can contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.

peadiatric

Smoking Cessation Support

Resources and support to help patients quit smoking, as smoking and tobacco use can have detrimental effects on oral health.

Early Intervention

Early Intervention

Prompt treatment of minor dental issues to prevent them from developing into more serious problems. Interventions such as dental fillings, root canal therapy, or periodontal treatments address issues early on.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We recommend having a dental check-up and cleaning every six months. Regular visits help maintain oral health and catch potential issues early.

    During a routine check-up, our dentist will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, take digital X-rays if necessary, and discuss any concerns you may have. A professional cleaning will also be done to remove plaque and tartar build-up.

    Fluoride treatments are highly beneficial, especially for children. They help strengthen the teeth and make them more resistant to decay. We recommend fluoride treatments as part of your regular dental visits.

    Dental sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to prevent cavities. They are especially beneficial for children and teenagers, but adults at risk of tooth decay can also benefit from sealants.

    Preventing gum disease involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups. Avoiding tobacco products and eating a balanced diet also contribute to healthy gums.

    Promptly addressing minor dental issues can prevent them from developing into more serious problems. Schedule an appointment with us to discuss your concerns, and we will recommend appropriate treatments such as fillings, root canal therapy, or periodontal care.
