Preventive Dentistry
Because of advancements in modern dentistry, we have the ability to keep our mouths healthy, beautiful, and strong for longer than ever before. The best way to maintain optimal oral health is through preventive dentistry, which is designed to stop oral disease and damage before they take effect. At the practice of Dr. Darrell Bass, we combine state-of-the-art therapies with quality patient care to help you and keep your smile healthy well into your golden years.
While good home-care through daily brushing and flossing is key to a healthy mouth, for most patients we recommend regular six-month appointments that will give us the opportunity spot problems early. A bright future for your smile starts with six-month checkups. When you visit Creekside Dental for a routine preventive dentistry, we will provide a:
- X-rays and Photographs
- TMJ Analysis
- Tooth-by-Tooth Inspection
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Head and Neck Exam
- Periodontal Exam
- Treatment Planning and Consultation if necessary
In the absence of oral health issues, our gentle, experienced hygienist will then provide you with a thorough cleaning and polishing, review your periodontal health, and give you tips for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. We can provide you with several options for protecting your mouth, such as athletic mouthguards, nightguards, fluoride supplements, and dental sealants.
