What is preventive dentistry?

Preventive dentistry services focus on protecting the long-term health of your teeth and reducing your risk for decay, gum disease, and other oral health complications.

Staying proactive about your oral health is important not only for your smile but also for your overall health. Untreated gum disease and other issues can increase your risk for severe dental pain, infections, and heart disease.

Madison Dental Spa provides a range of preventive dentistry services for adults and children in a comfortable office environment. 

What are the available preventive dentistry services?

The preventive dentistry services available at Madison Dental Spa include:

• Routine exams
• Dental cleanings
• Dental X-rays
• Fluoride treatments
• Dental sealants

Dr. Chason also offers resources to help you and your family care for your teeth properly with daily brushing and flossing. He can recommend lifestyle and diet strategies you can use to keep your smile white and your teeth and gums healthy.

How often do I need a preventive dentistry appointment?

You should schedule a routine dental exam at Madison Dental Spa every six months. During your visit, Dr. Chason evaluates the health of your teeth and gums. He can identify cavities, gum inflammation, and other dental issues in the earliest stages and customize a care plan to treat them.

Your preventive dentistry appointment also includes a professional dental cleaning. Dr. Chason can remove any plaque buildup on your teeth that brushing at home can’t. He can also clean away bacteria from your gum line. For children, Dr. Chason offers dental sealants and fluoride treatments to protect against cavities and decay.

To detect cavities or other issues, Dr. Chason may take dental X-rays to learn what treatments you need to restore your dental health. He provides a range of restorative dental services, including fillings and crowns, to prevent decay from worsening.

If you have dental issues between your preventive visits, Madison Dental Spa offers emergency dentistry services. Dr. Chason can address broken or lost teeth, bleeding gums, and other oral health issues that need immediate attention.
