The Importance of Preventive Care
Preventive dental care is the best way to keep your smile healthy for life. At Hermitage Dental Clinic, Dr. Patel and Dr. Kaur focus on finding small issues early before you even feel any discomfort. Catching problems like cavities or gum disease early means the treatment is simpler, more comfortable, and more affordable.
What Happens During a Preventive Visit?
Your appointment is all about keeping your smile in top shape. It has two main parts:
- A Thorough Cleaning: Our dental hygienist will gently clean your teeth. We remove plaque and tartar buildup that your toothbrush and floss can’t always get. This helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
- A Comprehensive Exam: The dentist will then carefully examine your teeth and gums for any signs of trouble. This check-up helps us spot small issues before they have a chance to become serious.
Taking care of your teeth isn’t just about a nice smile. Studies show a strong link between the health of your mouth and the health of your body. For example, gum disease can be connected to other health issues like heart disease and diabetes. By prioritizing your oral health with regular check-ups, you’re taking an important step to protect your entire body.
We offer a wide range of services to meet all your family’s needs in one convenient location. In addition to routine cleanings and exams, we provide:

Routine Cleanings and Exams
Regular cleanings and check-ups are the most important part of keeping your smile healthy. We suggest visiting our office every six months for this routine care.
At your appointment, our dental hygienist will use special tools to gently clean your teeth. They’ll remove plaque and tartar buildup, especially from those tricky spots that are hard to reach with your toothbrush at home.
After your cleaning is finished, the dentist will perform a complete exam of your mouth, teeth, and gums. We check for early signs of problems like cavities or gum disease. If we find anything, we’ll talk with you about the best way to fix it, creating a plan that works for you. These regular visits help you catch small issues before they turn into painful problems.
Fluoride Treatments for Stronger Teeth
Fluoride is a natural mineral that acts like a shield for your teeth. It makes the outer layer of your teeth stronger and better at fighting off cavities.
Our fluoride treatment is a simple, quick, and painless process. We often recommend it for children because their growing teeth can use the extra strength. But adults can benefit too, especially if you’ve had a lot of cavities in the past or have sensitive teeth. Adding a fluoride treatment to your check-up is an easy way to give your teeth a powerful boost against decay.
Sealants: Extra Protection for Your Teeth
Sealants are a great way to add extra protection against cavities, especially for kids and teenagers. A sealant is a thin, plastic coating that we paint onto the chewing surfaces of your molars.
These teeth have deep grooves that easily trap food and bacteria. It’s the most likely place for cavities to start. The sealant smooths over these grooves, creating a barrier that keeps food out. It’s like putting a protective shield on your teeth.
Sealants are usually applied soon after a child’s permanent molars come in. But they can also be a smart choice for adults who are prone to getting cavities.
