Preventive Dentistry in Newport, NH
Preventive dentistry is about finding problems early, reducing avoidable disease, and helping teeth and gums stay healthy for the long term.
Prevention is individualized. A patient with a low cavity and gum-disease risk may need a different plan from someone with dry mouth, frequent cavities, periodontal disease, orthodontic appliances, implants, or other risk factors.
Dental exams
A dental exam may include evaluation of the teeth, gums, bite, existing restorations, soft tissues, and other findings relevant to your oral health.
Diagnostic imaging is used when it is expected to provide useful information for diagnosis or treatment planning.
Cleanings & periodontal prevention
Professional cleaning removes plaque and hardened deposits that are difficult to remove at home.
Patients with periodontal disease may need periodontal treatment and maintenance rather than a routine preventive cleaning.
Cavity prevention
Depending on your risk, prevention may include:
- brushing and flossing guidance
- diet and habit review
- fluoride products
- fluoride-free products
- nano-hydroxyapatite products
- MI Paste
- sealants
- Curodont for selected early, non-cavitated decay
- management of dry mouth or other risk factors
Oral cancer screening
Oral and surrounding tissues are evaluated during appropriate routine examinations. Tell us about sores, lumps, color changes, swallowing concerns, or another change that does not resolve.
Prevention should be practical
The best home-care plan is one you can realistically maintain. We can help simplify product choices and focus on the habits that matter most for your individual risk.
