Dental Hygiene and Preventive Care:
Regular dental exams are the foundation of lifelong oral health. During your visit, Dr. Hartmann and our hygienist will gently clean your teeth, check for cavities and gum disease, and evaluate your overall oral health. We’ll also examine your face, neck, and mouth for any abnormalities to ensure early detection of potential issues.
Your visit may include dental X-rays or other diagnostic procedures to help us get a complete picture of your oral health. We’ll discuss your diet, hygiene habits, and lifestyle factors that can affect your smile. Our team is always happy to demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques or talk about cosmetic options to enhance your teeth.
Additional Preventive Services:
Dental Sealants: A thin, protective coating that helps prevent cavities.
Fluoride Treatments: Strengthens enamel and helps guard against tooth decay.
A Quick Word About Flossing:
Cleaning between your teeth is just as important as brushing. The American Dental Association recommends flossing once a day to remove plaque and prevent gum disease and cavities. Whether you use traditional floss, a dental pick, water flosser, or another interdental cleaner, our team can show you the best technique for your needs.
Remember, good habits start early—children should begin cleaning between their teeth as soon as two teeth touch. Our team is here to guide families in building lifelong healthy habits.
