Preventive care

Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining good oral health. It involves taking actions to prevent against oral diseases and maintain a healthy smile for a lifetime.
At Bing Dental, we prioritize preventive dental care because of the important role it plays in overall oral health. During your visit, in addition to oral evaluations, X-rays, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants, we also go over your oral hygiene habits and offer educational instructions on proper brushing, flossing, and the use of oral hygiene aids.
Preventive dentistry allows us to monitor your oral health, promote healthy habits, prevent new disease through a variety of treatment services, and catch signs of oral health problems early. This gives us sufficient time to identify, treat and reverse the issue before it becomes more serious.

Don’t ignore preventive dentistry services. Seeing us regularly and preventing oral health problems can help you maintain your overall health and wellness as you age, and save you time, money, and potential discomfort by avoiding serious dental disease.

Dental check-ups

Visit us every 6 months for a 60-minute visit that includes:

Routine x-rays

Dental X-rays are a useful tool to help the dentist to detect dental issues that may not be seen by the naked eye. X-rays help to detect hidden issues such as cavities, infections, and fractures.

3D CBCT

CBCT stands for cone-beam computed tomography. It is used to reconstruct a 3D image of your Teeth, Mouth, Jaw, and neck. A CBCT scan provides comprehensive information about your oral health.

Professional teeth cleaning

Dental cleaning involves the removal of dental plaques and calculus from teeth to prevent gum disease and cavities. Regular brushing and flossing may not be enough to prevent yellow plaques and debris from building up in your mouth. It is important to keep up with your dental cleaning every six months to maintain your oral health.

Gum disease treatment

Did you know almost 50% of all U.S. adults have some degree of gum disease? If caught early, gum disease can be reversed. And, this disease is 100% preventable. If not caught on time, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and bad breath.

Treatments include scaling and root planing, irritation, and arrestin.

Scaling and root planning is a procedure physically remove bacteria, plaque, and calculus with specialized tools.

Irrigation helps to deliver an antibacterial solution to a deep diseased area inside the gum.

Arrestin (minocycline hydrochloride) is an antibiotic delivered locally to infected gum to control the progression of gum disease.

Sealants

Dental sealants are a simple and effective way to protect your teeth from decay. They are thin coatings that are painted onto the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars) to prevent cavities for many years. Accroding to CDC, dental sealants can prevent up to 80% of cavities over 2 years in the back teeth, where 9 in 10 cavities occur.

Sealants are most often applied to children and teens when their adult teeth first erupt, but adults can also benefit from having their teeth sealed. The procedure is completely pain-free and is a cost-effective way to prevent tooth decay. Additionally, sealants for kids are free on Medicaid or CHIP.

At our dental clinic, we highly recommend dental sealants as a preventative measure for both children and adults. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and protect your teeth from decay.

Mouth guards can help treat conditions from teeth grinding at night to sleep apnea. They also protect your mouth from sports-related injuries.

At our dental clinic, we offer custom-made mouthguards for both children and adults. Our mouthguards are designed to fit comfortably and provide maximum protection for your teeth. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and learn more about how a custom-made mouthguard can benefit you.
