Your Smile Deserves Protection
You brush and floss regularly, but is it enough? Maybe you’ve skipped a checkup or two because everything feels fine—until it doesn’t. Maybe a tooth starts to ache, or minor gum irritation gets worse. Preventative dentistry isn’t just about helping you avoid dental issues—it’s about protecting your smile and overall health.
At Peninsula Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we believe that a proactive approach to dental care can lead to stronger, healthier smiles for a lifetime. By staying ahead of potential concerns, you may be able to avoid complex and costly treatments down the road.
Don’t Wait Until There’s a Problem
Preventative dentistry is a foundational part of lifelong oral health.
Regular checkups and professional cleanings can do more than help keep your teeth beautiful—they can identify cavities, gum disease, and other dental concerns before they become serious. With preventative dentistry in Charleston, we can help patients of all ages:
- Catch problems early before they require extensive treatment
- Prevent cavities, gum disease, and enamel wear
- Keep your breath fresh and your smile bright
- Maintain strong, healthy teeth for years to come
- Reduce long-term dental costs by potentially avoiding major issues
Our Preventative Dentistry Services
We offer a full range of preventative dental care to support healthy, beautiful teeth and gums.
Routine Checkups & Exams
We recommend a professional dental exam and cleaning at least twice per year. Regular exams allow us to detect early signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health concerns before they worsen. Our comprehensive exams include:
- A thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, and bite
- Digital X-rays to spot issues unseen by the naked eye
- Oral cancer screenings for early detection
Professional Cleanings
Even with great at-home care, plaque and tartar can still build up over time. Our professional cleanings include tooth scaling, polishing, and debridement if needed. Our gentle yet thorough cleanings can help:
- Remove plaque and tartar to prevent cavities and gum disease
- Polish teeth for a fresh, clean feel
- Reduce the risk of bad breath and discoloration
Digital X-Rays
We use digital X-ray technology to capture detailed images of your teeth and jaw. This may help us detect issues like decay, bone loss, and infections that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
Fluoride Treatments
After your dental cleaning, we may offer fluoride treatment to support strong enamel and help prevent cavities, especially for children or patients prone to decay. Fluoride treatments can provide an extra layer of protection for teeth between visits.
Dental Sealants
For children and cavity-prone adults, sealants offer a simple and effective way to prevent decay on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. These thin, protective coatings create a barrier against bacteria and food particles.
A Smart Choice for Uninsured Patients
If you don’t have dental insurance, you still deserve preventative care.
Our Premier Plan* provides 100% coverage for routine cleanings and exams, with discounts on treatments, all with no deductibles. Ask us how you could save on your dental care with this patient-friendly option.
*This is not dental insurance. This is a dental savings plan/membership plan. Please contact our office for complete details including covered services, limitations, terms, and conditions.
