Preventive Dentistry
We provide excellent preventive care, including exams, cleanings, and digital x-rays. Part of prevention is sharing information with patients about risk areas and how to improve health. We call this “homework” and we dispense it liberally! Early detection and prevention of dental problems is essential to gain optimal lasting oral health. The American Dental Association recommends that you follow a schedule of twice yearly cleanings and exams.

Children’s Dentistry
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, your child should visit the dentist within six months after the presence of the first tooth or by his or her first birthday. Early oral examination aids in the detection of the initial stages of tooth decay. Early detection is also essential to maintain good oral health.

At our dental office, we will gently evaluate your gums and overall oral health, and where necessary, we will make recommendations for treatment.
