Wellness Philosophy
What is Preventive Dental Care?
Preventive care includes professional teeth cleaning (scaling and polishing), fluoride applications, and pit-and-fissure sealants — all designed to stop cavities and gum disease before they develop. Regular cleanings remove the plaque and tartar that daily brushing can’t fully clear.
For children especially, sealants and fluoride treatments add a protective layer over the deep grooves of molars, where most childhood cavities begin.

Four Steps to a Cleaner, Healthier Mouth
01
Oral Examination
We check for plaque buildup, early decay, and gum health before cleaning begins.
02
Scaling
Ultrasonic tools gently remove plaque and tartar from teeth and along the gumline.
03
Polishing
Teeth are polished smooth, making it harder for new plaque to stick.
04
Protective Treatment
Fluoride or sealants are applied where needed for extra cavity protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does teeth cleaning hurt?
Professional cleaning is generally painless. You may feel mild sensitivity if there’s significant tartar buildup or inflamed gums.
How often should I get my teeth professionally cleaned?
Every 6 months is standard for most patients, though some with gum disease may need more frequent visits.
What are dental sealants and does my child need them?
Sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, which are highly cavity-prone. They’re especially recommended for children’s permanent back teeth.
Will cleaning make my teeth whiter?
Cleaning removes surface stains from plaque and tartar, which can noticeably brighten teeth, though it isn’t a substitute for professional whitening.
Is fluoride treatment safe for kids?
Yes, professional fluoride application is safe and effective in the recommended doses used at our clinic.
