The Importance Of Preventive Dental Care

Preventive care stops common problems like cavities and gum disease from forming in the first place. This keeps your mouth healthy and saves you money, too. If Dr. Mita notices an oral health issue early, she can take action and prevent it from getting worse.

What To Expect At Your Appointment

Not sure what to expect as a first-time visitor at Trooth & Smiles? Here’s a quick breakdown of what happens at a typical cleaning and exam.

Take X-Rays

First, one of our team members will take digital x-rays of your mouth and jaw. This lets us look for common oral issues like cavities, identify dental work like fillings and crowns, and gain other insights into your dental health.

Teeth Cleaning

One of our hygienists will use special tools to scrape away plaque, buff your teeth with a powerful toothbrush, and floss to remove debris. This leaves your smile beautiful, bright, and healthy.

Oral Exam

Dr. Mita will perform a comprehensive oral exam after your cleaning. She’ll look for signs of common oral health problems and perform an oral cancer screening, too.

Digital x-rays are faster, simpler, and require less radiation than old-fashioned film x-rays. They're essential for looking for oral health problems that may be hiding below your gums and your teeth.

Fluoride treatments use a fluoride-rich liquid to fortify your teeth against cavities. Dr. Mita will simply paint this liquid onto your teeth, leave it in place for a few minutes, then rinse it away. Regular fluoride treatments help strengthen cavity-prone teeth.

Dental sealants are made of a special type of dental resin. This is applied to your rear teeth in liquid form. Then, Dr. Mita will harden it with a special UV light. This forms an invisible barrier. Bacteria, food particles, and acid can’t contact your enamel directly, which helps prevent cavities.
