Preventive dental care is the cornerstone of lasting oral health for your family. At Ashton Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, we’re committed to providing comprehensive preventive dental services for adolescents, teens, and adults in Ashton, MD. Because the best dental treatment is the one that’s never needed, our practice focuses on measures that help prevent dental issues before they start, ensuring that our patients maintain healthy, vibrant smiles.
Benefits of Preventive Dental Care
Comprehensive Oral Assessments
Each visit begins with a thorough oral assessment, allowing us to monitor your dental health, identify any early signs of dental concerns, and provide timely interventions. These assessments are crucial for tailoring our preventative care recommendations to each patient’s unique needs.
Professional Dental Cleanings
Beyond daily brushing and flossing, professional dental cleanings are vital to removing plaque and tartar buildup, minimizing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Our skilled dental hygienists perform cleanings in a caring, precise, and gentle manner, ensuring a clean, healthy mouth and a brighter smile.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a natural mineral proven to strengthen tooth enamel and fight tooth decay. Our fluoride treatments provide an extra layer of protection against cavities, especially important for younger patients as their dental health develops.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a preventive measure applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. This protective coating effectively seals out food particles and plaque, reducing the risk of decay in these vulnerable areas.
Custom Mouthguards
For our active patients, we offer custom-fitted mouthguards to protect teeth during sports and physical activities. These personalized devices are comfortable to wear and effective in preventing dental injuries.
Oral Health Education and Prevention
Empowering our patients with knowledge is a key part of our preventive care approach. We provide guidance on proper oral hygiene techniques, nutritional counseling to support dental health, and tips for maintaining a healthy smile at home.
