Cleaning & Prevention
Keeping a regular preventative maintenance schedule with your hygienist and Dr. Sternberger help you prevent not only tooth decay and periodontal disease but also avoid costly procedures and extra time in the hygiene chair.
A regular home prevention routine usually consists of brushing at least twice a day and flossing at least once per day. But did you know there are other tools to make taking care of your mouth a little easier? Depending on your needs, there is special toothpaste, rinses, and even flossing aids that can help you keep your smile bright and healthy for years to come. Dental Symmetry can help you find the best tools to enhance your daily hygiene routine making your professional cleaning appointments shorter and less stressful.
Another significant factor in your oral health is your diet. Acidic foods and drinks can erode enamel just as a balanced diet can help keep your teeth and gums strong and healthy.
Regular professional exams and cleanings, a dedicated at-home hygiene routine, and a healthy, balanced diet can help prevent minor issues from becoming major procedures.
Oral Cancer Screening
At each visit, our team does a medical history update and reviews any changes (even subtle ones). Even the smallest change in the soft tissues of your mouth will be examined closely. Early detection of oral cancer saves many lives each year, and our team is highly trained to detect even smallest abnormality.
Home Care
While excellent oral health is a partnership between you and our team, we depend on you to make sure your teeth and gums stay strong and healthy between appointments. Together we can create an individual plan with the latest tools and knowledge to help protect your smile.
Halitosis Treatment
Halitosis, also known as bad breath, can be a source of embarrassment and social isolation for those who suffer from it. You are not alone! The first step in treatment is addressing the underlying cause of the bad breath.
Fluoride and Sealants
At Dental Symmetry, we recommend the use of fluoride in moderation in combination with good oral hygiene practices, to help achieve and maintain optimal oral health. We use biocompatible sealant materials to aid in maintaining the highest level of dental oral health for children and adults.
Teeth Cleaning
