Preventative Dentistry

Regular dental exams will help you keep your gums teeth strong and healthy. During your dental exam, we will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums for signs of tooth decay, gum disease and other health problems, which typically lead to bad breath and costly dental procedures if not treated.

The dentist may also recommend that we take X-rays of your teeth and mouth to help us discover any dental issues beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. Dental decay and gum disease if caught early can be easily treated.
