What Is Preventative Dental Care?

Preventative dental care includes all the treatments and practices aimed at maintaining your oral health and preventing the development of dental diseases. This typically includes regular cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and guidance on proper home care habits.

Why Is Preventative Care Important?

Preventative care is essential for:

  • Early detection of cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer
  • Preserving natural teeth and avoiding tooth loss
  • Minimizing future dental expenses
  • Maintaining overall health, as oral health is closely linked to systemic health

By coming in regularly and practicing good oral hygiene at home, you can avoid more serious—and more costly—dental issues down the road.

Our Preventative Services Include:

  • Routine Dental Exams & Cleanings
    Biannual checkups to remove plaque, evaluate oral health, and detect issues early.
  • Digital X-Rays
    Safe, low-radiation imaging to spot hidden dental problems with precision.
  • Fluoride Treatments
    Strengthen enamel and help prevent decay—especially useful for children and cavity-prone adults.
  • Dental Sealants
    A protective coating applied to molars to reduce the risk of cavities in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Oral Cancer Screenings
    Quick, non-invasive exams to catch early signs of oral cancer and other abnormalities.
  • Customized At-Home Hygiene Guidance
    We’ll provide personalized advice to help you maintain excellent oral health between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have a dental cleaning and checkup?

We recommend visiting Lund Family Dentistry every six months for a cleaning and comprehensive exam.

Fluoride helps remineralize enamel and reduce the risk of cavities, especially in children or adults at higher risk for decay.
