Preventive Care

Our regular patients will know that the entire dental team at South Nassau Dental Arts strongly recommends regular preventive dental care, including dental examinations and hygiene appointments where we can clean your teeth professionally. It is a simple routine that will only take an hour or so to complete every six months for most people.

With early and late appointments available, even the busiest person can fit professional preventative dentistry into their schedule.

What is Professional Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry is very simple and involves regular visits to our dental practice so we can monitor your dental health closely. We can quickly detect any changes from one appointment to the next when we can see you regularly and provide appropriate treatment.

A dental prophylaxis is a process where we clean your teeth professionally. It is an extremely important procedure for maintaining good oral health and most people love that super clean feeling afterward, not to mention beautifully fresh breath.

Our preventive dental care treatments include:

Comprehensive dental examinations

Dental hygiene – professional teeth cleaning

Scaling or root planing – deep teeth cleaning
