Preventive Dental Care and Services
Professional Teeth and Dental Cleanings in Richmond VA
Yes, you do a good job at home, twice a day, 365 days of the year, but there are still places that you cannot reach.
Prevention Is Key
When it comes to dental care and oral hygiene, prevention is key to avoiding expensive treatments down the road.
Our friendly Richmond dentists take their time with every patient and provide a thorough dental exam, during which they look for signs of:
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Tooth wear
- Oral cancer
- Instability
- Oral indicators of other health issues, such as sleep apnea or TMJ
As an important preventative measure, we take x-rays to identify cavities that may need treatment. By identifying these problems early, we help you prevent more costly and painful issues in the future.
How Often Should You Go to the Dentist for Preventive Dental Care and Services?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends regular dental checkups/cleanings every six months (or yearly, as determined by your dentist) as preventive dental care.
Preventative care is about more than regular dental visits, though. Our knowledgeable staff educates you on oral hygiene and provides best practices that you can implement at home, such as brushing and flossing techniques.
We are known for providing the most comfortable and comprehensive dental experience possible.
