Preventative Dental Care
Our patients at Keystone Dentistry know that their hygiene appointments are not just cleanings; they are the most important dental appointment they can make. Every hygiene appointment is a clinical appointment where we are able to perform a variety of services that better the lives of our patients.
We not only clean where your toothbrush cannot reach, we screen for oral cancer, and help spot budding problems when they are small – before they cause more serious and expensive problems. Our regular hygiene patients spend an average of 50-75% less in dental treatments over a lifetime simply because most problems are prevented or caught early enough to allow a less extreme and less expensive restoration.
Good oral hygiene is important for general health as well. Poor oral hygiene can lead to a variety of dental and medical problems such as gum disease, infection, bone loss, heart disease, strokes and more. Regular check ups and cleanings can help prevent these problems and are the key to a healthy mouth and body.
Please contact us today to schedule your comprehensive dental hygiene appointment.
- Comprehensive Exam – Dr. Kinney will thoroughly check for cavities, oral cancer, periodontal disease, structural issues, TMJ disorder, and any other possible concerns that may cause problems in the future at this appointment.
- Dental Cleanings – The friendly, knowlegeable dental hygienists perform a meticulous professional dental cleaning, as well as teach you how to continue to keep your smile healthy.
- Non-Surgical Gum Therapy – A special type of cleaning for when periodontal disease – a serious infection that results in major damage to the soft tissue and bone that support the teeth – is present.
- Oral Cancer Screening – According to The Oral Cancer Foundation, someone dies from oral cancer, every hour of every day in the United States alone. That is why at every routine check-up we will thoroughly examine the oral cavity and surrounding tissues to look for any signs of cancer at no additional cost to our patients.
- Home Care Education – Just as every person is different, so every dental care plan must be different. Our hygiene care specialists will work with Dr. Kinney to create a home care routine that is best for your individual needs.
