Preventive Care

Preventive care in dentistry is a vital aspect of maintaining optimal oral health. Its primary objective is to shield your teeth from the perils of tooth decay, gum disease (periodontal disease) and other dental issues that can lead to significant damage and necessitate extensive repairs. Smiles At Glenwood offers comprehensive preventive dental treatments designed to help you safeguard your smile’s wellbeing. These services encompass dental sealants and dental cleanings, both of which play an instrumental role in the early detection and treatment of dental issues, thereby preventing them from escalating into more extensive and painful problems.

To minimize your susceptibility to cavities and tooth decay, our experienced dentists and team recommend following these essential guidelines:

• Brush and floss your teeth diligently every day. We recommend that you brush a minimum of twice daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a toothpaste enriched with fluoride.
• Maintain a well-balanced, wholesome diet that minimizes your consumption of highly sugary or acidic foods, as these can exacerbate dental issues.
• Schedule regular appointments at our dental office, ensuring you visit at least twice a year for routine teeth cleaning and dental examinations. This proactive approach enables our dentists to identify and address any emerging concerns promptly.
• Consult with our dentists and team about other preventive treatments, such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments, which can help protect and strengthen your teeth, making them more resilient and less likely to develop problems.

We prioritize your oral health and are committed to providing the highest standard of preventive dental care. To learn more about preventive dentistry in Raleigh, North Carolina, and schedule your appointment with Dr. Candice Arrick, call our office today at 919-833-8100.
