Preventive Care
At Better Image Dentistry, we have the ability to effectively treat a wide range of dental health and cosmetic issues… but perhaps the most important part of what we do is helping our patients prevent problems before they occur.
Our dental hygienists are specially trained to apply dental sealants, which can help prevent tooth decay and reduce the need to fill cavities. They are also skilled in nonsurgical treatment of periodontal disease using scaling, root planing, and antibiotic therapy (Arestin and Atridox).
To help you take an active role in maintaining your dental heath, we will create a personalized home care regimen for you that addresses your special needs, such as sensitive teeth or a tendency to develop cavities.
There are recently published reports showing a strong tie between periodontal disease and heart disease, diabetes and other serious medical conditions. This makes it even more important to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. Not only for your dental health, but for your general health as well.
