Preventative Dentistry |
| Dr. Breazeale recommends that certain procedures be performed at regular dental visits as part of your proper dental hygiene. This preventative dentistry prevents problems before they start, corrects routine problems before they worsen, and identifies serious oral problems so they can be properly treated. |

|
| Cleaning
|
|
| Regular dental cleanings by Dr. Breazeale or his dental hygienist are part of a proper oral hygiene program. Cleanings help fight plaque, the major cause of tooth decay, gingivitis and serious gum disease. |
|
| Dental Exams
|
|
| Regular dental exams are a crucial part of preventative dentistry because they allow Dr. Breazeale to address dental problems in their early stages, and to identify serious problems. Most people need an exam every six months, but Dr. Breazeale may recommend more frequent visits depending on your circumstances. |
|
| Fluoride Therapy |
|
| Fluoride therapy has been proven beneficial in maintaining optimal oral health, particularly in the prevention of tooth decay and hypersensitivity. |
|
| Micro-Dentistry |
|
|
Micro-Dentistry is the philosophy and practice of detecting and treating decay as early as possible, of removing as little tooth structure as possible. |
|
| Scaling
|
|
| Plaque that remains on teeth eventually hardens into tartar, which is virtually impossible to remove with brushing and flossing alone. Scaling is the deep-cleaning procedure Dr. Breazeale or hygienist uses to scrape the tartar off your teeth at and below the gumline. |
|
| Digital X-Rays
|
|
| Digital X-rays take pictures called radiographs that show Dr. Breazeale the interior of dental structures and tissues, like teeth, gums and bones. These allow him to make a more thorough examination than is possible with the naked eye, and can help spot problems that would otherwise go undetected and untreated. |
