Preventative dentistry may also be referred to as general dentistry or family dentistry. Preventative dentistry is focused on preventing oral health conditions such as cavities, gum disease, infections, tooth loss, and excessive wear on the teeth. Moreover, preventative dentistry helps to ensure that patients maintain excellent oral health, thereby reducing risks to overall wellness.
Poor oral health has been linked with many chronic, serious, and potentially life-threatening conditions. As such, Dr. Awad takes time during each appointment to educate patients on the best ways to care for their teeth and gums.
Preventative dentistry offers countless benefits that can save you time, pain, and money by preventing the need for costly dental restorations later in life. Some of the specific benefits of regular dental care include:
Dentex Smile Studio provides a full suite of preventative dental services for patients of all ages.
During an oral exam, Dr. Awad will look for potential threats to your oral health including abnormal changes in soft tissues, abnormal bone structure, tooth decay, signs of infection, teeth at risk of cavities, weakened teeth, cracks in teeth, potential problems with tooth alignment or crowding, malocclusion (overbite, underbite, etc.). Periodically, digital images will be taken during your oral exam.
Having your teeth cleaned by the dentist twice yearly removes the plaque and bacteria that build up between dental appointments. This helps prevent cavities from forming. Your teeth will be cleaned, flossed, and polished during your appointment.
Dental sealants are a fast, painless, noninvasive preventative treatment that protects teeth with deep grooves from bacteria and plaque accumulation.
Fluoride treatments help protect weak teeth from decay, chips, fractures, and cracks in teeth.
Using painless digital impressions, Dr. Awad can create have a custom mouthguard fabricated to fit snugly over your teeth. Custom mouthguards better protect your teeth and mouth while playing sports when compared to store-bought mouthguards. We also create custom nightguards to help alleviate TMJ pain and bruxism.
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure used to treat gum disease. During the scaling process, specialized dental instruments are used to remove dental plaque and calculus from beneath the gums. Planing is the procedure used to smooth the tooth roots after the scaling process. Root planing helps the gums heal and reattach themselves to a cleaner and smoother root surface.
Night guards serve two primary functions. They protect your teeth from excessive wear due to clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism). Custom night guards also help mitigate painful symptoms of TMJ due to bruxism.
Home care is an extremely important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums, but even excellent home care cannot prevent bacteria and plaque. If the plaque is not removed, it can harden, becoming calculus. Our experienced team offers exceptional periodontal maintenance to keep your smile healthy and to treat gum disease in the mouth.

Our experienced team offers exceptional periodontal maintenance to keep your smile healthy and to treat gum disease in the mouth. During your visit, our team will perform an oral examination as well as an oral hygiene cleaning.
We will recommend a maintenance program that is best for you based on how quickly you develop calculus and your past and current periodontal health.
During maintenance appointments, we will perform a visual inspection to detect any cavities, abnormalities in existing dental restorations, and any new gum and bone recession. Digital x-rays may also be taken when deemed appropriate.
