“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Benjamin Franklin

This statement applies to many types of prevention, and it especially applies to good dental care.

At Central Park Dentistry, we have a constant emphasis on prevention and health. A wise dentist thinks conservatively. The less restorative treatment needed, the better.

The numerous connections of oral health to the rest of your body make it very important that each patient is educated, and also given tools to use on a daily basis to maintain their oral health.

Here are a few examples of the types of preventive services we provide:

-good diagnostic tools (digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, drs wearing magnification eyewear, etc) to address concerns at the earliest and smallest possible stage.

-time with doctors, hygienists, and assistants to explain and demonstrate home care options and techniques customized to the patient’s needs.

-sealant placement
-professional teeth cleaning
-fluoride treatment
-prescription of home health aids such as:
⁃ water flossers
⁃ electric toothbrush
⁃ interdental picks
⁃ Type of floss
⁃ Type of rinse
⁃ Type of toothpaste
⁃ Fluoride gel trays for decay
⁃ Perio trays for gum disease
⁃ Ointments for sores
