Preventive Services

Bi-annual dental exams allow your dentist in North Highlands to make sure that everything is spit-spot so that you can put your best tooth forward. Our highly knowledgeable staff will examine to make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy. If something does not look right or you are establishing yourself as a patient, your dentist may take dental x-rays to make sure there are no underlying issues or complications which we cannot see. The best and most cost-effective dental treatment is preventive treatment. It is recommended to come in for a dental visit at least once every six months.

Dental sealants and fluoride treatments can help prevent cavities and tooth decay. Teeth have a lot of little spots which bacteria and food can get caught in, which can cause a lot of problems. Even if you brush regularly, you might have leftover foods or plaque in the grooves of your teeth or in between teeth. Sealants and fluoride treatments can help prevent tooth decay from forming which could save you from unnecessary pain and payments in the long run.

It’s best to stop problems from forming than treating problems once they have already begun causing pain or other complications. For that reason, we at Watt Antelope Family Dentist prioritize patient education so that we can prevent oral health issues from ever beginning to cause problems. Great teeth begin with a healthy lifestyle. That means trying to lower sugar intake and overly-processed foods and eating balanced, healthy meals which include fruits and vegetables regularly.
