Preventive dentistry in Humble, TX is the foundation for healthy teeth and gums. Our dentist provides treatments, procedures, restorations, and safeguards to protect your oral health throughout the years. This is not limited to teeth cleanings and exams!
Preventive dentistry also includes:
- Sealants
- Fluoride treatments
- Custom nightguards for teeth grinding and clenching
- Custom mouthguards for sports
- Any specific treatment meant to protect your oral health
Prevention starts at home with a good oral hygiene routine. This means brushing and flossing at least twice per day and avoiding sugary drinks and snacks.
Patients who follow good oral hygiene routines have fewer cavities and less incidence of gum disease.
Unfortunately, brushing and flossing alone will not remove stubborn bacteria and plaque. For this portion of preventive dentistry, you’ll need twice-yearly cleanings with our dental hygienist—more often if you have gum disease or are prone to cavities. Our hygienist has the right tools to clear away even the most stubborn bacteria and tartar.
Beyond a good home routine and regular cleanings, it’s important to visit our top Humble, TX dentist at least twice per year for exams and x-rays. We use safe x-rays that provide high-definition images. This helps our dentist pick up on subtle oral changes between appointments.
In your dental exam, we will assess:
- Your teeth and gums
- Periodontal health, including gums and bone
- Any suspicious lesions
