What is Preventive Dental Care?
A large part of general dental care is preventative. Preventative dental care focuses on keeping your teeth and gums healthy before problems start.
With regular checkups, we can catch small issues before they turn into pain, infection, or costly treatment. Preventive care helps protect your teeth and gums and keeps your dental visits simple and stress-free.
Learn about how routine treatment is part of this care:
- Professional Cleanings: Even with good brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can build up over time. Our registered dental hygienists (RDH) offer routine prophylaxis or cleanings. They begin by scaling the teeth to remove bacterial buildup from the gum line. Then they thoroughly brush and floss your teeth. You can also get a fluoride treatment to protect your tooth enamel.
- Digital X-Rays: We recommend that you get X-rays at least once a year. Our office uses digital X-rays that allow us to see what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. Once we take the X-rays, we can view the images on a computer to find problems like bone loss, impacted teeth, or infections. We use this information to support accurate diagnosis and treatment.
- Dental Exams: One of our dentists will give you a thorough dental exam after your cleaning. He or she will check your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw for signs of cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues. These routine exams help us spot problems early and create a personalized care plan to keep your smile healthy.
We recommend that you visit Irving Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry every six months. Visiting us twice a year helps our team keep track of your tooth and gum health. We may also recommend that you visit us more often if you have an active dental issue like gum disease.
