Preventive Care

Root Dental is a preventive-oriented practice. This means we want our patients to avoid costly restorative work by preventing problems or catching them early. Our dentists and dental hygienist can identify potential problems that you may not yet be able to see or feel. Our Dental Hygienists offer gentle, thorough cleanings to remove plaque and tartar that can cause gum disease. When examining your x-rays and your teeth, you can expect us to be conservative in our recommendations. Our first preference is always to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.

Preventive care is the foundation of good oral health. The Canadian Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist regularly, usually about twice yearly, for a full cleaning, examination, and consultation for potential treatment.
