At Stein Dental Care, we believe that the best way to maintain a healthy smile is through proactive preventive care. Dr. Stein and his caring dental team in Nashville, TN are committed to helping patients of all ages achieve and maintain their healthiest smiles through regular preventive checkups, dental cleanings, and customized preventive treatments. Our top preventive dental services include:
Comprehensive Dental Exams
Regularly checkups allow us to monitor your oral health, detect potential problems early on, and provide personalized recommendations for maintaining your smile. Our team will ensure your comfort throughout your comprehensive dental exam. Any findings will always be shared with you right away, and used to create your customized, transparent treatment plan from Dr. Stein.
Professional Teeth Cleanings
Maintaining a healthy smile starts with regular dental cleanings, a cornerstone of our preventive dentistry approach at Stein Dental Care. The American Dental Association, along with most dental experts, recommends visiting your dentist for routine checkups and cleaning appointments every six months.
At our Nashville dental office, professional cleanings go beyond your daily brushing and flossing. While we'll certainly review your at-home techniques, our skilled hygienist provides a comprehensive cleaning using specialized tools. We begin by meticulously removing plaque and tartar, those stubborn buildups that often accumulate in tricky spots like between your teeth and around your back molars. Following this thorough scaling, your hygienist will use a powerful electric brush and a slightly abrasive toothpaste to expertly polish your teeth, leaving them feeling smooth and refreshed.
By making regularly scheduled dental cleanings a priority, you're taking an active role in safeguarding your oral health. Consistent professional cleanings are powerful when it comes to preventing common oral health concerns like cavities, periodontal disease, and unwanted tooth staining and discoloration. Let Dr. Stein and his team help you keep your smile healthy and bright!
Scaling and Root Planing
Deep dental cleanings, a key part of treating periodontal disease, involve a two-step process. First, scaling uses an ultrasonic tool to eliminate plaque above the gumline. Following this, root planing removes tartar below the gumline and around the tooth roots using the same instrument. Addressing gum infections in their earlier stages with a deep cleaning is a less intensive treatment approach compared to more involved periodontitis treatments, including oral surgery.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment is often recommended to help strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. At Stein Dental in Nashville, we offer fluoride treatments for both adults and children. We offer concentrated fluoride treatment designed to offer even greater protection against cavities and is especially beneficial for children and individuals with a high risk of decay.
Desensitizing Treatments
Do you experience tooth sensitivity that makes it difficult to enjoy your favorite foods? Our team can help, offering non-invasive teeth desensitizing treatments to help reduce discomfort and restore your smile's comfort.
