Maintaining Your Oral Health
Keeping your mouth healthy is an ongoing process, and the dentists at Apollo Dental offer a number of services that can be personalized to give you the exact care you and your family need. You can also get answers to questions about your oral health and discuss any issues you’ve noticed. The preventive services offered at Apollo Dental include:
Dental Exams
We offer dental examinations for infants, children and adults. During your visit, your dentist will check for any issues with your teeth, gums or mouth. It’s also the perfect time to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Regular dental exams are key to preventing gum disease, cavities and other dental health issues.
X-Rays
Some dental issues aren’t visible in a regular exam without the use of advanced X-rays (radiographs). X-rays are a crucial part of a preventive treatment plan and are generally covered by insurance. Most patients receive bitewing X-rays annually, while new patients typically undergo a panoramic X-ray for a comprehensive view of their dental health. Based on your dental history, your dentist will recommend the appropriate X-ray schedule for you.
Cleanings
A professional cleaning is one of the best ways to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. It’s particularly important for children, who may also benefit from additional treatments like fluoride and sealants. For adults, we generally recommend two cleanings a year, though this can vary based on your overall oral health. Talk to your dentist about your risk factors to develop the most effective cleaning plan.
Sealants
Dental sealants play an important role in preventive care for children and are occasionally recommended for adults. The process is simple. A plastic coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to keep plaque and sugars out of the deep grooves of the molars. Sealants can last for several years and are particularly effective in protecting children’s teeth during the period when they are most vulnerable to decay.
