At Glenfield Family Dental, we believe that prevention is the foundation of a healthy smile. Our comprehensive preventative dental care services are designed to help you maintain strong teeth and healthy gums for life.
Oral Hygiene Education: We teach you and your family proper brushing and flossing techniques to maintain clean and healthy teeth.
Dental Sealants: A thin protective coating applied to the grooves of your molars, preventing decay in hard-to-clean areas.
Fluoride Treatments: Strengthen your teeth and protect against cavities with professionally applied fluoride.
Custom Mouthguards: Protect your teeth from sports injuries or prevent damage caused by teeth grinding (bruxism).
Brush Twice Daily: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. The most crucial time to brush is before bed.
Floss Daily: Wrap the floss in a C-shape around each tooth, gently sliding it under the gumline. This removes plaque where your toothbrush can’t reach.
Dental sealants are a simple, painless way to protect your teeth from decay. Applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, they seal out bacteria, reducing the risk of cavities. Ideal for both children and adults, sealants provide long-lasting protection.
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps prevent tooth decay and strengthen enamel. At Glenfield Family Dental, we offer:
Topical Fluoride: Applied directly to the teeth during your check-up to enhance enamel strength.
Systemic Fluoride: Available through water supply and fluoride-rich foods, strengthening teeth from the inside out.
We offer two types of custom mouthguards:
Night Guards: For patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism), protecting teeth from excessive wear.
Sports Mouthguards: Essential for athletes of all ages, offering protection during contact sports.
Preventative care is the best way to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. Regular dental check-ups, combined with proper at-home care, can help you avoid cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems.
