Preventive Dentistry: your questions answered

For most people we recommend a check-up and professional cleaning every six months. This allows us to catch any problems early and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Fissure sealants are protective coatings applied to the grooves of back teeth to help prevent decay. They're a simple, effective way to protect teeth from cavities over time.
Even with great brushing at home, plaque can harden into tartar that only a professional clean can remove. Regular cleanings keep your gums healthy and your smile fresh.
