At Derhake Dental, we emphasize preventive dentistry, including regular cleanings and exams every six months. These visits are crucial to help you maintain excellent oral health and allow us to detect and treat dental issues before they worsen.
Routine Exams and Teeth Cleanings for Adults
During a professional teeth cleaning, your hygienist removes the buildup of plaque and tartar that lead to tooth decay. They will answer your oral health questions and provide recommendations on brushing and flossing properly and what hygiene aids you should use.
At the same appointment, your dentist will examine your teeth to check for signs of cavities and gum disease. Treating these issues promptly prevents them from worsening and helps you avoid more complex and costly procedures in the future.
Preventive Dentistry for Children
Teeth cleanings and exams every six months are as crucial for children as for adults. In addition to checking for cavities, we can also provide preventive treatments like dental sealants and fluoride applications that help contribute to a healthier smile.
