Preventive Dentistry – Protecting Your Smile for Life
At AmeriDental, we prioritize prevention to keep your teeth and gums healthy for the long run. Serving families in North Brunswick and Hillsborough, NJ with proactive, personalized care.
What Is Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dentistry focuses on avoiding dental problems before they start. By combining regular checkups, professional cleanings, and patient education, we help protect your smile and minimize the need for extensive treatments later.
Our Preventive Services Include:
- Comprehensive dental exams and cleanings
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
- Dental sealants to protect back teeth from decay
- Oral cancer screenings
- Digital x-rays for early cavity detection
- Gum disease evaluation and maintenance
- At-home care guidance and nutritional counseling
Why Preventive Dentistry Matters
- Catch problems early: Address decay, infection, or disease before they become serious.
- Save time and money: Preventive care is less costly and invasive than restorative treatments.
- Maintain overall health: Good oral hygiene lowers the risk of systemic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
- Build positive habits: We empower patients to take charge of their long-term oral wellness.
Our goal is to keep your mouth healthy and pain-free for life with proactive dental care and education.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How often should I schedule preventive visits?
A: Most patients benefit from exams and cleanings every 6 months. Some may need more frequent visits depending on their risk level.
Q: Are fluoride treatments safe for adults?
A: Yes. Fluoride is beneficial for both children and adults, especially those with dry mouth, gum recession, or high cavity risk.
Q: Do sealants hurt?
A: Not at all. Sealants are quick, painless, and applied without drilling—perfect for kids and cavity-prone adults.
Q: Can preventive care help with bad breath?
A: Absolutely. Regular cleanings and exams can eliminate bacteria that contribute to chronic halitosis.
