Prevention is a Lifestyle
Your general health starts with your teeth from what your diet to your oral hygiene routine at home. Our dental team's focus is to work with our patients on educating them on proper oral hygiene routine to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. We generally recommend that you visit us for a regular dental check-up and clean every 6 months (twice a year) to avoid dental problems.
Your initial appointment at the Quay Family Dental involves:
- Assessment of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissue
- Screenings for cavities, gum disease, and Oral Cancers
- Dental Radiographs to assess cavities where the access is limited (recommended every 2 years)
- Intra-oral photographs (photos give you a clear understanding of what is happening in your mouth)
- Professional dental clean
- Discussing options of any required treatment
- Fluoride treatment
Maintaining Healthy Gums
Get a professional clean and polish every 6 months to minimize the risk of tooth decay and gum disease as this progresses silently and can indicate problems when it's too late.
