Preventative

Pine Creek Dental offers all the preventative care services needed to keep your teeth and gums healthy. From dental exams and teeth cleanings to fluoride treatment and athletic mouthguards, our team happily provides the full range of services.

Through the preventive care process, Dr. Thompson, serves as a fierce protector of your oral health. With the help of his team members, he effectively guides you through the process of protecting your teeth and gums from decay and damage.

Every step of the way, we take a gentle yet thorough approach. We complete every stage of the care process with your comfort in mind while ensuring you get the best results – always. If we can do anything extra to help you stay comfortable, just let us know, and we’ll customize your care.

Importance of Preventative Dental Care

Our focus on preventative care allows you to stay diligent when maintaining your oral health. Just schedule an appointment for every six months and we’ll provide an exam, teeth cleaning, and X-rays when needed. 

With our support, it’s possible to avoid plaque build up, reducing the risk of severe tooth decay, gum disease, and many other dental issues. We can also spot and diagnose other diseases such as oral cancer during your visits.

We’re even your main source of support for preventing dental trauma. If you play high-impact sports, for example, we can fit you with an athletic mouthguard that shields your teeth and gums from damage.

Our Preventative Care Services

At our Colorado Springs dental office, we offer all the preventative care services you need from childhood through the senior years, such as:

• Thorough exams
• Teeth cleanings
• Halitosis treatment
• Dental sealants
• Fluoride applications

We will create a custom preventative dental care plan that perfectly suits your needs. We will then continually assess your needs to watch for changes that indicate you may need to see us more often.

Our team will keep you well informed through every stage of the process so that you can make informed dental care decisions. If you have any questions about our recommendations, please let us know right away. We’ll always take the time to address your concerns and help you stay in control of maintaining your oral health.

When To Come in for Preventative Care

Preventative care works best when completed on a regular basis. The ideal timing for these care appointments is different for each person.

Most children and adults should visit Pine Creek Dental twice a year for an exam and teeth cleaning. If you have gum disease or advanced tooth decay, you may need to come in more often.

As you develop a dental routine with Dr. Thompson and our staff we will be able to detect changes to your teeth, gums and soft tissue easily and provide the care you need to prevent issues from worsening. 

Please give us a call today and schedule a preventative care appointment at (719) 268-9400. We look forward to working with you.
