At Allen Dental Center, our general dental services also prevent future oral health problems. Our preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the teeth’s natural dentition and supporting structures for a lifelong healthy, beautiful smile. We combine a few simple preventative measures to keep the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions at bay.
Preventative Care
At Allen Dental Center, we want to do everything possible to keep your teeth as healthy as possible. The primary way in which we do this is through regular dental hygiene appointments, checkups, and preventative programs twice per year.
When you come in bi-yearly, one of our dental hygienists will clean your teeth. While your personal brushing and flossing are essential, bi-yearly hygiene appointments will remove any hard-to-reach plaque, tartar, or tooth decay that can eventually cause dental diseases such as gingivitis. One of our dentists will give you the exam, checking to ensure your teeth are in top shape and you are not developing any oral health issues. We also take routine X-rays, which our dentists use to spot problems that may not be visible during your surface exam and to become familiar with the structure of your mouth.
In addition to this, we offer gum disease therapy for anyone who has developed gingivitis or periodontitis and regular oral cancer screenings to catch any early signs of cancer and prevent it from progressing.
