At Mooring Dental, we understand that preventive care is the foundation of maintaining a healthy, radiant smile. Dr. Sean Mooring and our team are committed to providing personalized preventive services to detect and address potential issues before they develop into more significant concerns. By focusing on early intervention and regular care, we aim to keep your smile in optimal health for life.
Regular dental visits are essential for maintaining your oral health and preventing problems like tooth decay and gum disease. At Mooring Dental, we generally recommend scheduling check-ups and professional cleanings at least twice a year. During these visits, Dr. Mooring will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, looking for any signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, or other issues. Our advanced diagnostic tools ensure that we catch any concerns early on.
What to expect during your visit:
Patients who have been treated for gum disease require special care to maintain their oral health. Our perio maintenance services go beyond routine cleanings to thoroughly clean the pockets around your teeth and below the gumline. This preventive measure is crucial in stopping gum disease from recurring and protecting the health of your gums, jaw, and teeth long-term. Perio maintenance helps to: Prevent the return of periodontal disease. Keep gums healthy and free of infection. Protect the bone structure that supports your teeth.
Dental sealants are a simple yet highly effective way to protect teeth, especially the molars and premolars, from cavities. This painless procedure involves applying a thin protective layer to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth, sealing out plaque and food particles that can lead to decay. Sealants are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers, but adults can benefit as well. Benefits of dental sealants: Shields vulnerable areas of the teeth from cavities. Painless and quick to apply. Lasts for several years with proper care.
Fluoride treatments are a time-tested way to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities. By replenishing essential minerals, fluoride helps repair early signs of tooth decay and fortifies teeth against future damage. Fluoride treatments are typically applied in the form of a varnish. Fluoride treatments help: Strengthen enamel and prevent decay. Reverse early stages of tooth decay. Protect teeth for patients of all ages.
Oral cancer can develop without obvious symptoms, making early detection critical for successful treatment. As part of your routine check-up, we perform comprehensive oral cancer screenings to check for any signs of abnormal tissue. Dr. Mooring uses the latest screening technologies to identify potential issues early, giving you peace of mind and ensuring prompt care if necessary. Oral cancer screenings include: A thorough visual and physical examination of your mouth. Use of advanced technology to detect any suspicious changes. Early detection for better treatment outcomes.

Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning or specialized perio maintenance, our team is here to ensure that your oral health is in great hands. Let us help you keep your smile healthy, beautiful, and bright for years to come.
