At Pineview Dental, we offer preventive services to help patients of all ages maintain healthy smiles, starting with routine checkups. Do you hesitate to make an appointment because it’s been longer than you’d like to admit since your last dental visit? You’ll find no judgment here—just a caring team focusing on moving forward, not looking back.
Preventive Services at Pineview Dental
We recommend exams and cleanings every six months for most Pineview Dental patients. If you have a history of cavities or we are actively treating you for gum disease, we may increase the frequency to stay ahead of these issues. Our other preventive services include:
- Professional Teeth Cleanings — Our skilled hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar deposits using specialized instruments, helping prevent gum disease and decay while leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
- Comprehensive Dental Exams — We thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, tongue, and oral tissues to detect potential issues like decay, gum disease, or oral cancer in their earliest stages.
- Dental Sealants — Dental sealants smooth over the deep grooves of molars with a thin plastic coating that prevents decay from developing in these hard-to-clean surfaces.
- Fluoride Treatments — These quick, painless treatments strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars.
- Custom Nightguards — A custom-fitted nightguard creates a protective barrier against the damaging effects of teeth grinding or clenching.
- Athletic Mouthguards — Our custom-fitted sports mouthguards offer better fit, comfort, and protection against dental injuries than over-the-counter options.
Bad breath (halitosis) commonly affects self-confidence and social interactions. Occasional "sour" breath is normal, but persistent bad breath often signals underlying issues that may require professional attention.
