Maximizing Oral Well-being Through Preventive Dentistry

Our team of dentists in Las Cruces, New Mexico, takes great pride in offering a comprehensive array of preventive treatments to ensure your smile stays healthy and vibrant. These treatments are designed to safeguard your smile from common dental problems such as periodontal disease and tooth decay, emphasizing the importance of daily oral care routines. We strongly advocate for the daily habit of brushing and flossing your teeth, as these are crucial steps towards achieving and maintaining a healthier smile.

What preventive dental services are available at Las Cruces Dental Associates, PC?

Our dental team is pleased to offer a myriad of preventive oral health services, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Regular dental cleanings and checkups. These are critical for maintaining good oral hygiene and catching potential issues early on. During these appointments, our skilled hygienists will remove both plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and evaluate your mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, or other problems.
  • Dental sealants. This preventive treatment involves applying a thin layer of plastic material over the chewing surfaces of the molars to create a barrier that can prevent some bacteria and food particles from getting trapped in the deeper grooves and resulting in decay.
  • Fluoride treatments. Fluoride is a mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect cavities. We offer both in-office fluoride treatments and take-home options for patients who may be at a higher risk for tooth decay.
  • Oral cancer screenings. Our team is trained to recognize the various signs of oral cancer, and we provide regular screenings as part of our preventive services. Early detection is crucial to successfully treating this potentially life-threatening disease.
