At the office of Hillcrest Dental Arts, we believe that a sparkling smile is more than just a cosmetic feature; it's also essential to your overall health. Studies show an increasing link between poor oral health and systemic conditions such as digestive disorders, respiratory problems, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, even a simple dental infection that goes untreated can have severe consequences. This is why we prioritize preventive care to keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong.
Keeping a bright smile is not something you should take for granted. The best way to avoid cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems is by maintaining good oral hygiene, following a nutritious diet, leading a healthy lifestyle, and adhering to a program of regular dental check-ups and care.
At the office of Hillcrest Dental Arts, we recommend that you visit us twice a year for routine check-ups and professional cleanings. This way, we can monitor your oral health, reduce your risk of developing dental disease, and detect any signs of oral health issues early in their development when they are generally easier to treat. Periodic exams also allow us to screen for signs of oral cancer and other conditions that may impact your overall wellbeing.
Beyond the walls of our office, patient education is a crucial component of our comprehensive preventive care program. We take the time to provide you with the right guidance and resources needed to maintain optimal oral health at home. During each checkup appointment, we review your daily oral hygiene practices and offer detailed instructions on proper brushing and flossing techniques to help keep your smile clean and reduce any build-up of dental plaque.
We also assist children in establishing a strong foundation for lifetime oral health. Along with providing the necessary guidance and age-appropriate information required to maintain healthy teeth, we offer periodic topical fluoride treatments and dental sealants to provide extra protection against childhood tooth decay.
It's essential not to wait until you're in pain or think something is wrong before seeing the dentist. By taking the appropriate preventive measures and scheduling a regular appointment for comprehensive check-ups and routine care, our practice can help you maintain optimal oral health and a stunning smile that supports your overall wellness.
Don't forget to take advantage of our services designed to protect and enhance your oral health. From dental cleanings and exams to periodontal therapy and beyond, we have the tools and expertise needed to keep your teeth and gums in top shape.
