Good oral health begins not with treating dental issues as they emerge, but with stopping them before they appear. At Dr. Richard Hardt, DDS, we provide preventive care like checkups and screenings to protect your smile from the earliest stages of life.
During a dental prophylaxis or cleaning, we carefully remove plaque buildup from your teeth and gums to prevent cavities, gum disease, and infections. We also polish your teeth to remove surface stains, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and your smile sparkling.
Our screenings involve a detailed examination of your entire oral cavity to identify any signs of precancerous conditions or cancerous growths early on.
Checkups every six months allow us to thoroughly clean your teeth and remove plaque and tartar that can lead to decay and gum disease. Dr. Hardt also evaluates your oral to identify and addresses issues before they become serious problems.
At Dr. Richard Hardt, DDS, we give kids the knowledge and care they need to keep their smiles bright and healthy as they grow. We check their teeth, use fluoride to protect their smiles against cavities, and put sealants on their back teeth to keep out germs and food.
We also teach them how to brush and floss properly and why eating healthy is important for their teeth.
Preventative dentistry should start as early as infancy and continue throughout a person's life. We recommend scheduling your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first.
Preventative care is the key to a lifetime of healthy smiles. Contact Dr. Richard Hardt, DDS, today to schedule your next appointment.
