Why Preventive Dentistry Matters
Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Left unchecked, this buildup can lead to cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Preventive care stops these issues in their tracks, saving you time, money, and discomfort down the road.
But preventive dentistry is about more than avoiding problems. It’s also about supporting overall health. Studies show that gum disease has been linked to conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. By keeping your mouth healthy, you’re also protecting your body.
What to Expect During a Preventive Visit
At Revive Dental, every cleaning and checkup is personalized to your needs. A typical preventive visit may include:
Comprehensive Exam
Dr. Briskie examines your teeth, gums, and bite, looking for early signs of cavities, gum disease, or other concerns.
Digital X-Rays
When needed, we use low-radiation imaging to detect problems that aren’t visible during the exam.
Professional Cleaning
Our hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth, and leave your smile feeling refreshed.
Oral Cancer Screening
Early detection saves lives, which is why this screening is part of every checkup.
Preventive Treatments
Fluoride applications or sealants may be recommended to strengthen teeth and protect against decay.
Personalized Guidance
We provide practical tips to improve your at-home care so you can maintain results between visits.
This thorough approach ensures we don’t just clean your teeth — we actively protect your long-term oral health.
Advanced Technology for Better Prevention
Our office is equipped with modern tools that make preventive care more effective and comfortable. Digital X-rays provide detailed images with far less radiation than traditional methods. Intraoral cameras allow you to see what we see, making it easier to understand your treatment plan. Ultrasonic scalers help us remove buildup more efficiently while being gentle on your teeth and gums.
With these technologies, we can detect small problems early, when they’re easiest to treat, and provide the best possible protection for your smile.
