Preventive dental care can save you time, expense, and headache. Your checkups allow us to find and treat dental problems, like decay and disease, in the earliest stages. If left untreated, these conditions can only worsen and require extensive therapy in the future. Help us help you by scheduling checkups at least twice each year with Dr. Julie Mathew or Dr. Bilu Mathew.
Your exam will include cavity detection with the use of digital X-rays and intraoral photographs which allows you to review the images on a chairside monitor. This will help you see and understand your oral condition and the therapy we recommend.
Preventative care isn't limited to checkups. For example, fluoride treatments and sealants protect young teeth from cavities. Patients who grind or clench their teeth at night, a condition known as bruxism, may benefit from nightguards. Be sure to order custom-fit mouthguards for the athletes in your family.
