Preventive Dentistry Argyle
Maintaining Healthy Smiles for Life
The best dental care is preventive in nature. Fixing the problem before it occurs is the smartest way to take control of your oral health. With this in mind, Skye Family Dental offers a variety of prevention-focused treatments.
Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Routine dental checkups and cleanings allow our team to prevent common oral health problems from developing and advancing, like cavities and gum disease. Although they require a little bit of your time, they can help you avoid the need for more extensive and costly treatments down the road by preserving your natural smile.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are another preventative measure to avoid damage from decay-causing bacteria. Bacteria can accumulate in deep grooves and begin the decay process. Sealants placed in the deep grooves can prevent build-up of cavity-causing bacteria.
Fluoride Varnish
Our office provides fluoride varnish to strengthen your teeth. The application of varnishes regularly, typically twice a year, prevents and reduces tooth decay damage.
Mouthguards
Mouthguards, including nightguards and sportsguards, protect your teeth when you need it most. Chronic teeth grinding can cause cracks, muscle pain, and damage to your jaw joint. A sports guard is an easy way to help prevent sports-related mouth injuries.
Oral Cancer Screening
During your regularly scheduled examination, a thorough oral cancer screening will be performed. This allows for early detection of any abnormalities of the oral tissues.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is a common condition in which chronic inflammation can lead to tissue recession and bone loss. By scheduling regular appointments, the dental team can ensure that your gum health is maintained.
Skye Family Dental provides therapy ranging from standard cleanings to deep cleanings for patients with gum disease. Your needs will be assessed at each checkup.
