Preventive Dentistry Maintains Healthy Smiles
If you want a healthy, problem-free smile to avoid the need for complex procedures, prevention is the name of the game. Comprehensive exams every six months allow our dental team to stay current with your oral health needs. If we detect a problem like a cavity or gum disease, we can treat it promptly before it causes pain or requires more complex treatment to address.
Six-month teeth cleaning appointments with one of our skilled hygienists help you avoid gum disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup that your toothbrush and floss miss. Symptoms like bleeding or swollen gums indicate gingivitis, and prompt treatment can help stop it in its tracks before it damages your oral health.
Oral Cancer Screenings with VELscope®
When you visit us for your six-month checkups, ask about our oral cancer screenings using VELscope®. VELscope is a hand-held device that your Brandon dentists use to detect abnormal tissue earlier than most other technologies.
VELScope emits soft, blue light to find potentially harmful areas or precancerous or cancerous cells. We can complete this simple screening process in as little as two minutes.
The benefit of oral cancer screenings is detecting abnormalities before they become more serious health complications. Early detection allows for a more positive prognosis and expanded treatment options.
We firmly believe that prevention is the best medicine, and we are proud to offer VELscope cancer screenings to all our patients!
