Maintain Your Teeth and Gum Health Optimally with Our Preventive Dental Care

Our preventive dentistry focuses on teeth cleanings and routine oral exams to detect issues preemptively. As a key preventive measure, we offer dental sealants (thin, protective coatings) that help to prevent cavities, especially in the molar and premolar areas. At Prime Dental Center in Stratford and Marlton, NJ, we provide top-notch preventive oral care services so that you can take good care of your teeth and gums, preventing problems in the future.

What Is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dental care plays a vital role in protecting the well-being of your teeth and gums, effectively preventing oral concerns like tooth decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer. It not only enhances your oral well-being but also:
  • Protects oral health issues like periodontitis, enamel loss, gingivitis, and bad breath.
  • Reduces your risk of dental problems associated with chronic medical conditions, such as osteoporosis, certain cancers, diabetes, and heart disease.
  • Helps women to have healthy pregnancies, reducing the risk of premature birth.
  • Promotes good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing twice a day.
  • Detects dental problems earlier (when they are easy to treat).

Understanding Dental Sealants

Sealants, the thin and liquid coatings are made of glass ionomers (glass powder combined with a water-soluble acid) and resins (synthetic or plant). Molars and premolars, also known as back teeth, have intricate grooves that aid in breaking down food as you munch away. However, lurking within these crevices can trap food particles and bacteria, leading to dreaded tooth decay over time. Nevertheless, fear not! These sealants are carefully applied and hardened (with a curing light) onto the rugged chewing surfaces of your teeth (molars and premolars), protecting them from cavity-causing bacteria, thus preventing cavities and tooth decay.

We offer best-in-class preventive dental services to preserve your oral health and smile including:

Dental Exams and Check-Ups

A thorough dental examination will be conducted to detect any potential oral health issues, including tooth decay, gum disease, etc. X-rays are recommended when closer examination is required, such as in cases of infection or impacted/damaged teeth.

Children's Dentistry

We address all of your children's dental care needs in a comfortable environment where your little ones feel at ease during their dental visits. Whether your child requires a root canal or tooth extraction, we provide exceptional oral care with personalized attention.

Teeth Cleaning

Professional teeth cleaning goes beyond just removing surface stains; it also effectively eliminates stubborn food particles, harmful bacteria, and plaque and tartar from the mouth with the use of a dental scaler.

Dental Sealants

These remarkable, thin plastic coatings specifically target the back molars that are prone to developing cavities. We recommend getting dental sealants as soon as the eruption of the first and second permanent molars, typically around 6 and 12 years old.

Gum Disease Treatment

We address gum issues, such as gingivitis (inflammation of the gum) and periodontitis (gum infection that damages the soft tissue around teeth). Depending on the severity of your gum disease, we offer both surgical (scaling and root planing, prescription antibiotics, etc.) and non-surgical (flap surgery, bone grafting, etc.) gum disease treatments.

After Care for Sealant Application

  • Practice good oral hygiene.
  • Limit your intake of sugary foods and beverages.
  • Schedule regular dental visits to check the condition and functioning of your sealants.
