A preventive (recare) program is a joint cooperative effort between you and our team to preserve your natural teeth, gums, and bones of the oral area by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.
Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in our dental office by the efforts of Dr. Shiotsu and the dental hygienists as they promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.
Regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays are all part of an effective prevention program. Other great preventive treatments include sealants and fluoride.
Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, and beautiful smile.
Our very experienced and caring hygiene team performs all phases of hygiene procedures. Our hygienists each have over 30 years of experience and it shows in everything they do. They are committed to providing patient-centered oral health programs to help each patient maintain their teeth for life. We are committed to developing a long-lasting relationship with every patient.
We strive to make patient visits personalized to serve your best interests. Our hygiene room is equipped with both ultrasonic and manual instruments to provide comfortable and effective therapy. This room is also equipped with an intra-oral camera to enhance our communication with the patients about their oral health.
