PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY
At Vancouver Pacific Family Dentistry, our goal is always to help patients keep their smiles whole and healthy for life, and one way we achieve this goal is to prevent major oral health issues by scheduling preventive dentistry exams every six months. During the dental checkups, our dentists carefully examine patients’ teeth and screen for signs of oral health issues and our hygienists remove plaque and calculus buildups. Before you leave, we’ll create an ongoing dental care plan to help you keep your smile healthy.
PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY
ORAL HOME CARE
FLOSSING & BRUSHING
The American Dental Association recommends cleaning between your teeth daily with an interdental cleaner (like floss). Cleaning between your teeth helps remove a sticky film called plaque (which are composed of bacteria that can cause cavities and periodontal disease), therefore flossing may help prevent cavities and gum disease.
DENTAL CHECK UPS & INTRA ORAL CANCER SCREENING EXAM
During the exam, the dentist examines the areas of your mouth, including your teeth, gums, tongue, and surrounding tissues for any signs of concern.
TEETH CLEANING
Our hygienists remove all the plaque and tartar to make your gums healthy.
FLUORIDE TREATMENTS
Routine fluoride application is essential for keeping teeth strong and healthy.
