Healthy Smiles Begin With Proactive Care
Preventative dentistry is the foundation of long-lasting oral health. At Empower Your Smile, we believe in catching concerns early—before they become costly or painful. From routine cleanings to personalized screenings, we help you keep your smile looking and feeling its best.
What Is Preventative Dentistry?
Preventative dentistry focuses on protecting your teeth and gums through regular care, early detection, and patient education. Cleanings, dental checkups, and oral health screenings all play a vital role in preventing issues like cavities, gum disease, and enamel erosion.
By coming in every six months, you not only protect your smile—you invest in your overall well-being.
Why Routine Cleanings Matter
Skipping dental visits may not seem like a big deal—but over time, plaque buildup, gum irritation, and even systemic health issues can occur. Consistent cleanings help:
-
Prevent gum disease and tooth loss
-
Detect issues early (like oral cancer or decay)
-
Support your overall health, including heart and immune function
-
Keep your breath fresh and your smile bright
Is There Just One Type of Cleaning?
Yes and no. Routine cleanings are called prophylaxis, and they’re the standard every-six-month appointment. But we also offer specialized cleanings for patients with gum disease:
-
Full Mouth Debridement: For significant buildup before we can do a full exam.
-
Scaling & Root Planing: A deep cleaning for early-stage periodontal disease.
-
Periodontal Maintenance: Ongoing care for those with a history of gum issues.​
Is Preventative Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
In most cases, yes. Dental insurance typically covers two cleanings and exams per year. Keeping up with these visits helps avoid more costly procedures down the road. We’re happy to walk you through your coverage and discuss payment options—your oral health is always our top priority.
