Preventive Care

Like most aspects of your health, prevention is key, even when it comes to your mouth. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends everyone receive regular dental checkups and cleanings twice a year, and at Hamilton Dental Care, we agree with this philosophy.

Hamilton Dental Care welcomes patients of all ages, including children. Even infants should receive a regular dental checkup by the time their first tooth erupts or by their first birthday. Many aspects of your child’s facial growth should be monitored to ensure a healthy mouth; plus early detection of issues could save you time and money down the road.

During your visit, one of our trained and caring hygienists will evaluate your mouth, documenting any potential issues, and then thoroughly clean your teeth of plaque buildup. Bacteria that collect around your teeth and gums cause plaque also referred to as tartar. This bacterium is always present in our mouths, and if ignored, can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

Following your dental cleaning, our doctors will evaluate your oral health and discuss a treatment plan, if follow-up treatments are needed. Part of your visit will also include patient education on the proper methods of oral hygiene to practice at home, in between your visits with us. By following this preventive care program, you will help preserve your smile and maintain a healthy mouth for years to come.
