The goal of preventive dentistry is to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums for life. Not only does preventive dentistry save you the pain of a dental emergency, but it also helps you save money in the long run. For example, it’s much less expensive to pay for a dental cleaning than an emergency root canal.

In general, we recommend that you receive teeth cleanings every 6 months. Getting your routine teeth cleaning is a great way to prevent cavities and other issues so you can maintain a healthy smile for life.
Are you prone to getting cavities in your back teeth? This may be due to having plaque accumulate in the deep grooves or divots on the surface of your molars. Ask Dr. Bandy if you’re a candidate for dental sealants.
A fluoride treatment only takes one visit to our office. In fact, we may be able to fit the procedure into your next teeth cleaning appointment with us. During the procedure, we may apply the fluoride in the form of a rinse, foam, gel, or varnish.
We recommend that you schedule your child’s first dental appointment as soon as they get their first tooth or by their first birthday. That way, you’ll be creating a solid foundation for them to start building good oral hygiene habits that will last a lifetime.
