PREVENTATIVE CARE

A healthy smile happens by prioritizing your daily regimen and professional routine visits. At Family Care Dental, our goal is to keep you from needing invasive and urgent treatments by tackling the small problems before they have a chance to progress. That’s why we focus our efforts on thorough preventive dental treatments, like semi-annual checkups and cleaning.

Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings

Cleanings and oral exams are essential for every patient, and we highly recommend you see either Dr. Scott Perras or Dr. Denise Perras regularly every six months. Our experienced dentist and compassionate team members are dedicated to restoring your smile and your dental health.

Periodontal Therapy

When gingivitis or mild gum disease is allowed to progress, periodontitis or periodontal disease can overtake your mouth. This disease can put you at risk for losing your teeth, plus affect your health and well-being.

Dental Sealants

Highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your back teeth, sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic coating is painted on the surface of the tooth. Sealants protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing cannot reach.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Catching oral cancer in its early stages before it spreads and becomes more serious can save a patient’s life. During your regular checkup and teeth cleaning, your Doctor will provide an oral exam to check on your overall oral health. This will include a detailed review of your gums and teeth.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride occurs naturally and is found in food and water. In addition to preventing tooth decay and cavities, it can also help in the remineralization of tooth enamel. When fluoride is deposited on the surface of teeth, it helps make them resistant to acids created by plaque and sugars. These treatments are quick, painless, and one of the easiest ways to keep your teeth healthy between appointments.
