Your foundation for lifelong oral health

Preventive dentistry supports long-term oral health by combining regular exams, professional cleanings, appropriate diagnostic imaging, and personalized home-care guidance.

At Northshore Smiles, our goal is to identify concerns early, protect healthy tooth structure, and help you understand how to care for your smile between visits.

Our Preventive Sub-Services

A coordinated range of preventive services designed to support healthy teeth and gums at every stage of life.

Routine cleaning & exam

Professional cleaning and a thorough dental exam to monitor your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health.

Digital X-rays

Digital radiographs may be recommended when needed to help identify decay, bone changes, and concerns that are not visible during a visual exam.

Oral cancer screening

Visual and tactile screening of the oral tissues is included as part of a comprehensive approach to preventive care.

Gum disease screening

Periodontal evaluation helps monitor gum inflammation, pocket depths, recession, bleeding, and supporting bone health.

Fluoride treatment

Professional fluoride treatment can strengthen enamel and may be recommended based on your individual cavity risk.

Custom mouthguards

Custom athletic guards and night guards can help protect teeth from sports injuries, clenching, and grinding.

Dental sealants

Dental sealants add a protective barrier to the grooves of back teeth and may help reduce cavity risk.

At-home care guidance

Personalized brushing, flossing, product, and nutrition guidance helps you maintain the results of professional care at home.

Frequently Asked Hygiene Questions

1. How often should I get a dental cleaning?

Every 6 months for most adults. Higher-risk patients or individuals manageing advanced periodontal bone trends may need diagnostic checkup slots every 3–4 months.

2. Does my insurance cover cleanings and exams?

Dental insurance coverage varies by plan. Our team can help you understand available benefits before your appointment.

3. What if I haven't been to the dentist in a long time?

We see this every day and there is zero judgment. We'll do a thorough exam and create a customized tracking plan that works for your unique needs and budget.

4. Is a dental cleaning painful?

For most patients, a professional cleaning is entirely comfortable. We discuss customized desensitizing steps to keep highly sensitive teeth safe.

5. What is an oral cancer screening?
