Why Preventive Dentistry Matters

Preventive dental care is the foundation of lifelong oral health. Routine checkups and cleanings allow us to detect potential issues early—before they develop into more serious (and expensive) dental problems. Whether it's fluoride treatments, dental sealants, or customized oral hygiene plans, our goal is to help you maintain a confident, pain-free smile.

Our Preventive Dentistry Services

Comprehensive Dental Exams & Cleanings

Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. During your visit, Dr. Bemis will:

• Examine your teeth and gums for signs of decay or disease
• Remove plaque and tartar buildup with a professional cleaning
• Provide oral cancer screenings for early detection

Fluoride Treatments for Stronger Teeth

Fluoride helps protect enamel and reduce the risk of cavities, especially for children and those prone to decay. We offer professional fluoride treatments to strengthen your teeth and keep your smile cavity-free.

Dental Sealants for Cavity Prevention

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent decay. This simple, painless procedure is especially beneficial for children but can also help adults with deep grooves in their teeth.

Gum Disease Prevention & Treatment

Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong smile. Our periodontal care services help prevent and treat gum disease, reducing the risk of tooth loss and other health complications. If you're experiencing bleeding gums or persistent bad breath, schedule a visit today.

Custom Nightguards & Mouthguards

Grinding your teeth at night? Playing contact sports? Our custom-fitted nightguards and sports mouthguards protect your teeth from damage and reduce the risk of dental injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions About Preventive Dentistry

How often should I visit the dentist for checkups?

We recommend visiting every six months for a routine exam and cleaning. However, if you have a history of gum disease or other concerns, more frequent visits may be necessary.

Are dental cleanings painful?

No. Professional cleanings are gentle and designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup without discomfort. If you have sensitive teeth, let us know—we will make adjustments to ensure your comfort.

Can preventive care really prevent cavities?

Yes. Regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, and good at-home hygiene significantly reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease.
