Preventative dentistry

Good oral hygiene is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Brushing and flossing daily helps to remove plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that can cause cavities, gum disease, and other problems. However, even the most diligent brushers and flossers can miss some plaque.

That’s why regular teeth cleanings are an important part of preventative dentistry. During a teeth cleaning, our dental hygienist uses special tools to remove plaque from teeth, even in hard-to-reach places. In addition to removing plaque, teeth cleanings also help to remove any stains or discoloration on teeth. A bright smile is an important asset, and teeth cleanings can help you achieve it. But perhaps more importantly, regular teeth cleanings can help you avoid serious oral health problems down the road. So if you’re due for a cleaning, be sure to schedule an appointment with your dentist soon.

At Mableton Family Dentistry, we  recommend that patients visit the dentist at least twice a year for teeth cleanings. Teeth cleaning is important because it removes plaque and tartar from teeth, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

sealants

Sealants are a preventative dentistry measure used to help protect teeth from cavities. The American Dental Association (ADA) estimates that sealants can prevent up to 80% of cavities in molars. A sealant is a thin, plastic coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Sealants act as a barrier, protecting the tooth from the acids and plaque that cause cavities. Sealants can last for many years, but they will need to be replaced if they become worn or damaged. Your dentist in Mableton GA can tell you if sealants are right for you or your child.
