Preventive dentistry is the best way to protect your smile for the long term. At Poplar Square Dental, our preventive services are designed to catch small problems early, reduce the risk of decay and gum disease, and help you avoid more complex treatment later. Whether you’re maintaining a healthy mouth or getting back on track after time away, we’ll create a plan that fits your needs.

Routine visits typically include professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t reach. Cleanings help keep your gums healthy, reduce inflammation, and leave your teeth feeling fresh and smooth. We also use dental X-rays when needed to check what’s happening below the surface—such as early cavities between teeth, bone changes, or hidden infections—so we can treat concerns before they become painful or expensive.

To strengthen enamel and add extra protection against cavities, we may recommend a fluoride treatment, especially for children, teens, or adults prone to decay or sensitivity. For added defense on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, dental sealants can help seal out bacteria and food particles in deep grooves where cavities often start.

Your daily habits matter, too. We’ll provide practical guidance on home care, including brushing technique, flossing tips, and product recommendations tailored to your smile.

Preventive care is a partnership. Schedule your next checkup at Poplar Square Dental, and let’s keep your teeth and gums healthy, strong, and confident—year after year.
