Preventative Dental Services in St. Peters, MO 

Dental Examinations

Regular dental examinations are essential for monitoring your oral health and detecting any potential issues early on. During your exam, our experienced dentists will thoroughly assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and surrounding oral structures. We may also use diagnostic tools such as dental x-rays to identify hidden problems that may not be visible to the naked eye. By scheduling routine dental exams, you can catch dental issues in their earliest stages and prevent them from progressing into more serious problems.

Professional Cleanings

Even with diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can still accumulate on your teeth over time. Professional dental cleanings are essential for removing these stubborn deposits and preventing gum disease and tooth decay. Our skilled dental hygienists will use specialized instruments to gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, leaving them clean and polished. We may also provide personalized tips and techniques for improving your at-home oral hygiene routine to help maintain a healthy smile between visits.

Dental Sealant

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to prevent cavities. These sealants act as a barrier against bacteria and food particles, effectively reducing the risk of decay in these vulnerable areas. Dental sealants are especially beneficial for children and teenagers who may have difficulty thoroughly cleaning their back teeth. By sealing the grooves and pits of the molars, we can help protect your child's smile and promote long-term oral health.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect against decay. Our fluoride treatments are quick, painless, and highly effective at preventing cavities in both children and adults. We may apply fluoride varnish or gel to the surfaces of your teeth during your dental visit, providing an extra layer of protection against acid erosion and bacteria. Fluoride treatments are particularly beneficial for individuals at a higher risk of developing cavities, such as those with dry mouth or a history of tooth decay.
