Preventative Dentistry
At Dentistry in Aurora, we believe that preventive care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. Our practice focuses on thorough examinations, including checking the overall health of your teeth and gums and utilizing digital radiographs when necessary.
Routine Check-Ups
If it has been a while since your last visit, it is never too late to return. We are here to address any concerns you may have regarding your oral health and help you get back on track.
Digital Radiographs
When necessary, we’ll take digital radiographs of your teeth, using x-ray technology, to capture data on your mouth. This will help us to track your progress and to detect any issues that may need to be addressed.
Routine Hygiene Therapy (Reducing Biofilm)
Routine hygiene therapy is essential in preventing dental disease. Our team will work with you to develop a customized regime to help you achieve your best oral health and provide you with the knowledge to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy. We are also dedicated to educating you on how to use essential oils, such as Clove Bud and Oregano, to reduce bacterial count and support your oral wellness.
Pediatric Care
Unless you notice a visible issue earlier, we typically recommend starting maintenance exams at three years of age. We understand that not all children are ready to cooperate in the dental chair at that stage, so our initial visits are designed to be fun and rewarding. Every visit includes a trip to the treasure box to help your child feel comfortable with our team and the environment.
How To Care For Your Teeth Through Preventive Dental Care
Periodontal disease and decay are both caused by bacterial plaque. Plaque is a colorless film, which sticks to your teeth at the gumline. Plaque constantly forms on your teeth. By thorough daily brushing and flossing you can remove these germs and help prevent periodontal disease.
Brushing Tips
Flossing Tips
- Gently insert the floss tightly between the teeth using a back-and-forth motion
- Bring the floss to the gum line then curve it into a C-shape against one tooth
- Slide it into the space between the gum and the tooth until you feel light resistance
- Move the floss up and down on the side of one tooth
- When you are done, rinse vigorously with water to remove plaque and food particles
