Preventative Care at River Rock Dental
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU VISIT THE DENTIST ?
For optimal oral health, we recommend visiting the dentist every six months for a cleaning and exam. Regular appointments allow us to monitor your oral health and catch potential issues early.​
If you experience tooth pain, sensitivity, bleeding gums, or other dental concerns, don’t wait—schedule an appointment right away!
Our Preventative Dental Services
​1. Professional Dental Cleanings
Routine cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. Our team ensures a deep clean to keep your smile fresh and healthy.
​
2. Comprehensive Dental Exams
Regular exams help identify early signs of cavities, gum disease, and oral health issues. We use advanced technology for accurate diagnosis.​​
​
3. Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride strengthens enamel and reduces the risk of cavities, especially for children and those prone to tooth decay.
​
4. Dental Sealant
Early detection is key. We perform thorough screenings to spot any abnormalities or potential concerns.​​
