Preventative Dentistry
The best dental problems are the ones we prevent — regular cleanings and exams are your first line of defense.
Preventative Dentistry at Smiles on Main
Preventative dentistry is the foundation of everything we do at Smiles on Main. Regular cleanings and exams allow us to maintain your oral health, catch problems early when they're small and inexpensive to treat, and keep your smile looking its best.
At each preventive visit, our dental hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing can't reach. Dr. Regenold will then perform a comprehensive exam using intraoral cameras to show you exactly what we see — checking for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other concerns.
Beyond cleanings and exams, our preventative services include dental sealants and fluoride treatments for kids and adults, custom nightguards for patients who grind their teeth (bruxism), and custom athletic mouthguards to protect your smile during sports.
We recommend most patients visit us twice a year, though some patients with gum disease or higher cavity risk benefit from more frequent visits.
Why Choose This Treatment?
Cleanings & Comprehensive Exams
Professional cleaning removes tartar brushing can't reach, paired with a thorough Dr. Regenold exam.
Custom Nightguards for Bruxism
If you grind or clench your teeth, a custom-fit nightguard protects your enamel and relieves jaw tension.
Sealants & Fluoride Treatments
Extra cavity protection for kids and high-risk adults, applied quickly during a routine visit.
Custom Athletic Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards protect teeth during contact sports better than boil-and-bite versions.
Oral Cancer Screening
We check for signs of oral cancer at every exam — early detection saves lives.
Intraoral Camera Education
We use intraoral cameras so you can see exactly what we see and make informed decisions.
