Preventative Dental Care

Preventive Dental Care involves regular check-ups and office visits. Many times this involves a cleaning and examination. X-Rays are taken every year to detect decay between the teeth. A series of individual or one large x-ray is made of the entire mouth every three to five years to inspect the roots or the teeth and the bones of the upper and lower jaws. We are looking for diseases around the teeth or cancer that may be detected early on an x-ray. During the examination of the mouth and surrounding areas we are looking for decay, gum disease, or diseases of the head neck or mouth.
