For patients coming into our office, we first perform an exam and cleaning. This helps us to create a treatment plan that is right for you. From there, we can offer many different preventative options to keep your smile looking its best. We may recommend sealants or fluoride treatments as a way to prevent tooth decay. Regular checkup visits are essential for allowing us to check for problems and clear away heavy buildup on the teeth that can contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.
