The Importance of Early Intervention and Routine Care
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We want to see you smile, and your health is our top priority. Our routine care and early intervention recommendations come from a place of genuine care and concern. Keeping your teeth, gums, jaw, and tongue healthy now, and addressing issues as soon as they appear, will save you from discomfort, pain, and unexpected costs—ultimately keeping you smiling.
Keep Your Natural Teeth for Longer
Did you know that the most common causes of tooth loss are cavities in young adults and gum disease in older adults? Practicing good oral hygiene at home is essential to maintaining a strong, healthy mouth. During your routine exam, we can detect the early signs of gum disease and tooth decay, allowing us to intervene before the problem worsens.
Save Your Money
Routine teeth cleanings and exams are affordable and predictable, making them an easy fit in your budget. Treating early signs of tooth decay, such as with composite fillings, is also relatively low-cost and a smart long-term investment. More extensive procedures required for severe dental issues often come with a much higher price tag.
Don’t Even Think About It
One of the greatest benefits of optimal oral health is that you don’t have to think about it. There’s no pain, no inflammation, and no worrying about toothaches. You can eat whatever you want and smile confidently without self-consciousness. Well-maintained teeth are naturally beautiful, comfortable, and reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions
A routine check-up includes a teeth cleaning and an exam. Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that can build up despite routine brushing and flossing. The exam allows the dental team to monitor your oral health, with special attention to problem areas that may need early intervention.
Leftover food particles, especially in hard-to-reach areas, become a feast for bacteria in your mouth. The bacteria multiply and produce acids that weaken tooth enamel. Cavities are accelerated by a diet high in sugar or acidic foods and drinks, like coffee or soda.
Some people are genetically more prone to cavities due to factors like being more susceptible to cavity-causing bacteria or having crowded teeth that are difficult to clean. The best way to reduce your risk is to maintain good oral hygiene and healthy eating habits at home.

Tooth decay can often be prevented or reversed with routine cleanings. Early decay can be treated with fluoride and composite fillings. A tooth that becomes infected can be saved with a root canal. Badly decayed teeth may need to be capped with a dental crown or resurfaced with veneers. In extreme cases, teeth may need to be extracted, and an implant or bridge can restore the function of your bite and smile.
Preventive cleanings and routine exams are safe and encouraged during pregnancy to prevent oral infections and address any dental symptoms that may arise. In the event of a dental emergency, such as an infection, more invasive procedures, like a root canal, may be required. However, elective procedures like teeth whitening should be postponed until after the baby arrives.
