Good oral hygiene is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. At Malden Cosmetic Dentistry & Implants, we believe that preventative dentistry is the key to long-term oral health. Our team of dental professionals is dedicated to helping our patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health through a variety of hygiene and preventative dentistry services.

Types of Hygiene & Preventative Dentistry Services

1. Dental Cleanings: Regular dental cleanings are an essential part of preventative dentistry. During a cleaning, our dental hygienists will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, polish them, and evaluate your oral health.
2. Oral Cancer Screening: An oral cancer screening is a quick and painless examination that can help detect cancer in its early stages when it is most treatable.
3. Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are thin coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They can help prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves and pits of these teeth.
4. Fluoride Treatment: Fluoride is a mineral that can strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent tooth decay. Fluoride treatments are quick and easy and can be done during a regular dental visit.

Benefits of Hygiene & Preventative Dentistry Services

1. Early Detection of Oral Health Issues: Regular dental cleanings and oral cancer screenings can help detect oral health issues early, when they are most treatable.

3. Saves Money: Preventative dentistry services can help you avoid costly dental procedures down the line by addressing oral health issues before they become more serious.
4. Promotes Overall Health: Good oral health is linked to overall health. By maintaining good oral hygiene, you can help reduce your risk of developing other health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
