Preventative Program

At the office of Quincy Dental, we recognize that a healthy smile is more than just an attractive asset; it is also essential to one's overall well-being. Researchers find an increasing association between poor oral health and systemic conditions such as digestive disorders, respiratory problems, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease.

We encourage patients to visit twice yearly for routine checkups and professional cleanings. In this way, we can monitor your oral health, reduce your risk of dental disease, and detect any oral health issues early in their onset when they are typically the simplest to treat.

Periodic exams also enable us to screen for oral cancer and check for other conditions that may impact your systemic health and well-being.

Patient education is an integral component of our comprehensive program of preventative care. We take the time to give you the proper guidance and resources needed to maintain good oral health at home.

We help children establish a strong foundation for a lifetime of optimal oral health. In addition to providing instruction and age-appropriate information, we offer periodic topical fluoride treatments and dental sealants for added protection against childhood tooth decay.
