Prevention is extremely important when it comes to the health of your teeth. Active dental care helps keep your teeth as healthy as possible, and allows us at VFCD to address any dental or gingival diseases that may appear in the early stages.

Cleaning & Oral Exams:

The American Dental Association recommends a dental cleaning and exam every six months. Scheduling regular cleanings with our staff allows us to remove disease-causing dental plaque from your teeth that you cannot reach with regular brushing routines. The process will remove plaque and tartar, especially near the gum line. Cleanings help you keep your teeth and gums healthy.

The deep cleanings are the best way to treat patients with chronic gum disease. The process involves removing plaque and bacteria below the gums to reverse or prevent future issues. We will inform you at your initial, comprehensive exam if a deep cleaning is recommended.

Oral Cancer Screenings:

Oral cancer screenings are a regular part of every dental exam. If caught in the early stages, oral cancer can be manageable. This disease not only affects lifelong smokers but is also possible in non-smokers, which is why early detection and treatment is extremely important.
