Preventive Dental Treatments

 

Checkups

Regular oral exams and X-rays are critical to be sure your teeth and gums are healthy as the dentist can see many things you can’t. Don’t wait until you have problems to come in for a checkup!

Gentle Cleaning

Professional teeth cleanings are essential in keeping your teeth healthy and free of plaque. While they may feel or appear clean, your teeth accumulate plaque and disease-causing bacteria in between teeth and under your gums where only a hygienist can clean them. Get your dentist cleaning by a dental hygienist today at Gentle Dental. Plus, your smile will look great!

Deep Scaling & Root Planing

Deep Scaling and root planing are sometimes necessary treatments to resolve periodontal (gum) disease. These treatments remove bacterial and calculus deposits and allow improved healing of the gums.

Sealants

Sealants are a bonded protection applied to the surface of the teeth to seal the crevices where decay most commonly occurs. This inexpensive preventive dental treatment staves off cavities, dental fillings and more serious problems later. This can go a long way in fighting dental problems that may occur later in the child’s development and should be considered for all children before problems arise. Gentle Dental’s pediatric specialists are experts at performing dental sealants.

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer screenings are vitally important for early detection of oral cancer. Gentle Dental can give you a thorough exam to detect any oral abnormalities that may indicate cancerous growths. Gentle Dental really cares about our patients’ oral health and we have invested heavily in the latest oral cancer screening technology called VELscope®. The VELscope® exam allows the doctor to see lesions and malignancies much earlier than a normal dental exam and has been proven to save lives because early detection is everything! And at Gentle Dental, we are so committed we offer VELscope® without any profit motivation and free of charge under a VIP Discount Program. Remember, the earlier cancer is detected, the better the chances of saving your life.

Fluoride Treatments

Our dentists at Gentle Dental can give you effective fluoride treatments to help strengthen the outer layer of the enamel of your teeth and fight cavities. Fluoride applications after teeth cleanings typically make dental work last longer and can help to prevent tooth decay.
