The Power of Preventative Dentistry

You shouldn’t wait to go to the dentist when it’s far too late to save your teeth. Preventative dentistry, which includes cleanings, exams, and daily oral hygiene, can keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong so that you won’t have to experience pain or tooth loss down the line.

Cleanings and Exams

At Ace Dental, we pride ourselves on offering gentle, thorough dental cleanings to remove plaque, calculus, and bacteria from those hard-to-reach places that your toothbrush and floss can’t tackle. Scheduling routine cleanings twice a year will fight tooth decay and prevent you from forming cavities, which when untreated can lead to gum disease and tooth loss.

Even if you’re on a tight budget, we have affordable special offers that will help you maintain optimal oral health without breaking bank. After all, it is much cheaper to have two cleanings a year than expensive restorative surgeries in the future just because you didn’t get your teeth cleaned consistently.

Why Are Cleanings Important?

Teeth are strong and resilient, but even the enamel, or the outer layer of the tooth, is susceptible to decay. Acidic food and beverages, smoking, or some medications can wear down tooth enamel, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. When left untreated, gum disease can leave you with missing teeth and costly procedures to replace them. Even worse, it could lead to other health complications such as heart disease.

What Should I Do?

Aside from scheduling regular cleanings, diligently brushing and flossing daily is the first step to preventing tooth decay and maintaining a strong, healthy smile. Our staff can teach you and your family the best ways to brush and floss your teeth so that you can practice good oral hygiene at home, and we can also take care of all of your other dental needs at the office.

If you play contact sports, we can also assist you in making custom mouth guards to protect your teeth from harm. With a properly fitted mouth guard, you can get in the game without having to worry about losing a tooth!
