Preventative Dentistry
Our Preventative Dentistry Services
We offer a full range of preventative care services to keep your oral health in check. Here are the key services provided at Santa Clarita Advanced Dentistry:
Routine Cleanings and Exams
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are the foundation of good oral health. During your visit, our skilled hygienists will clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities and gum disease. Our dentists will also perform a comprehensive exam to detect any early signs of dental problems and ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy.
Digital X-Rays and Diagnostic Imaging
Our office uses state-of-the-art digital X-rays to get a detailed look at your teeth and bone structure. These images allow us to spot problems like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that may not be visible during a regular exam.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. We offer fluoride treatments for patients of all ages as an extra layer of protection against decay.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars, where cavities are most likely to form. This is especially beneficial for children, but adults can benefit as well.
Oral Cancer Screenings
During your routine check-up, our dentists perform an oral cancer screening to look for any signs of abnormal tissue in your mouth, gums, or throat. Early detection is key in the successful treatment of oral cancer.
Periodontal Maintenance
Gum health is a vital part of overall dental health. Our periodontal maintenance services help prevent and manage gum disease. For patients with a history of gum disease, more frequent cleanings may be needed to maintain optimal gum health.
