What are my options for preventive dental services?

Lynn Lane Family Dentistry offers high-quality preventive treatments, including:

  • Dental Cleanings — Regular dental cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. Professional cleanings also give your teeth a fresh, polished feel and contribute to better overall oral health.
  • Dental Exams — Dental exams allow us to check for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues before they worsen. These visits often include X-rays and screenings to ensure early detection and effective treatment.
  • Dental Sealants — Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to help prevent cavities. They create a barrier against food particles and bacteria, making them especially beneficial for children and teens.
  • Fluoride Treatments — Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and prevent tooth decay by making teeth more resistant to acid and bacteria. These quick, painless treatments are recommended for both children and adults at risk of cavities.
  • Custom Orthotics — Custom orthotics, such as nightguards or mouthguards, are designed to protect teeth from grinding, clenching, or injury. They provide a comfortable, personalized fit to support oral health and prevent damage.
  • Why is preventive dentistry so important?

    Preventive dentistry helps maintain long-term oral health by addressing potential issues before they become serious. Regular checkups, cleanings, and good at-home care reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Early detection of problems can prevent the need for costly and invasive treatments in the future. Preventive care also supports overall health, as oral health is linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes. By prioritizing prevention, you can enjoy a healthy, confident smile for years to come.

    How often should I schedule preventive appointments with my dentist?

    You should schedule preventive dental appointments at least every six months to maintain optimal oral health. Regular checkups and cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. These visits also allow Dr. Holleman to diagnose early signs of dental issues before they become more serious. However, if you have gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or other dental concerns, our team may recommend more frequent visits to ensure your smile stays healthy.
