Preventive Dental Services at Peek Dentistry

Preventive dental services are designed to keep your teeth protected from common ailments like tooth decay, gum disease, trauma, and more. When you come into our office for your twice-yearly routine exam and cleaning, you’re coming in for preventive dental care. These services can prevent the need for more expensive, time-consuming, and complex treatment later. Here are some of our preventive services:

Dental Cleanings & Examinations

Your hygienist will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and under your gums, check your gum health, polish your teeth, and floss between your teeth. During your checkup, your dentist will evaluate your mouth for cavities, gum disease, and any other abnormalities.

Fluoride Treatments

A fluoride varnish is applied to your teeth, which is absorbed into the crystalline mineral structure of your enamel. The fluoride helps strengthen your tooth enamel, fortifying it against decay.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin coatings of a special dental material applied to the grooves and crevices in the back chewing teeth to prevent decay. They seal out food particles and bacteria that could otherwise get trapped in the deep grooves.

Athletic Mouthguards

Custom-fitted sports mouthguards protect your teeth from trauma during activities that could involve physical contact with other participants, equipment, or the ground.

Nightguards

If you grind or clench your teeth at night, we can create a custom-fitted nightguard to protect them while you sleep.

Halitosis Treatment

Our team can diagnose and treat your condition if you suffer from persistent bad breath.

Oral Cancer Screenings

We closely examine your oral cavity, face, and neck for signs of oral cancer. If we identify anything suspicious during your exam, we will recommend additional tests.

How to Reduce Your Risk of Oral Health Issues

To reduce your likelihood of developing oral health problems, we recommend you:

• Visit Peek Dentistry routinely for preventive dental care
• Do not delay treatment recommended by your dentist
• Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time
• Floss every day
• Consume a balanced diet low in sugar and acidic foods and beverages
• Drink plenty of water
