Preventative Dentistry

Digital X-Ray

Dental x-rays are a type of image of the teeth and mouth. X-rays are a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation. The x-rays penetrate the body to form an image on film or screen. X-rays can be either digital or developed on a film.

 

Dental Exams & Cleanings

A dental exam is a checkup of your teeth and gums. Most children and adults should get a dental exam every six months. These exams are important for protecting oral health. Oral health problems can become serious and painful if not treated promptly. 

 

Fluorine

A key to good oral health is fluoride, a mineral that helps prevent caries and can repair teeth in the very early, microscopic stages of the disease. Fluoride can be obtained in two forms: topical and systemic.

 

Sealants

Sealants are a thin plastic coating painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth – usually the back teeth (the premolars and molars) – to prevent tooth decay. The paint-on liquid sealant quickly penetrates the grooves of the teeth and is “cured” (hardened) by an intense white light. The result is a bonded shield over the enamel of each tooth.
