Preventive Dentistry![]() At Bella Dental Care, we take exceptional care of your oral health. Below are some of the preventive dental services that our practice provides. Dental Cleaning & ExamsProfessional cleanings performed by a hygienist or dental assistant are as important to your dental health as daily brushing and flossing. Twice yearly dental check-ups and cleanings help catch problems when they are small and easier to treat. Left unattended, small treatable problems become worse and may require more extensive, expensive procedures to repair. Oral Cancer ScreeningDuring your dental visit, Dr. Durflinger or Dr. Abifaker can talk to you about your health history and examine you for signs of mouth and/or throat cancer. Regular visits to Bella Dental Care can improve the chances that any suspicious changes in your oral health will be caught early, at a time when cancer can be treated more easily. Oral HygieneOne of the best ways to keep your gums from bleeding when you come in for a cleaning is to floss regularly. Whether you floss before or after brushing is less important, so long as you floss the adjacent tooth surface! Tooth ExtractionA tooth extraction is the procedure done to remove a tooth that is damaged beyond repair from its socket in the jawbone. Extractions are also done to remove wisdom teeth that may be impacted or create future problems. Dental SealantsSealants are generally used to help prevent tooth decay on the biting surfaces of back teeth (molars).
