The Foundation Of Oral Health
What is Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry is the foundation of good oral health. By focusing on preventive care, we aim to identify and address potential dental issues before they develop into more significant problems. Through regular check-ups, cleanings, and patient education, we empower our patients to take control of their oral health and make informed decisions.
The Benefits of Preventive Dentistry
Maintain Your Oral Health
When you regularly visit your dentist, problems like tooth decay and gum disease can be detected early on, and treated before they become more serious issues. This saves you from experiencing pain, discomfort, and the need for more extensive, invasive, and costly treatments down the line.
Keep Your Teeth Looking Great
Regular teeth cleanings can remove plaque and tartar buildup, as well as minor surface stains, allowing your smile to shine bright. By keeping your teeth clean and healthy, you can minimize discoloration and keep your confidence up.
Improve Your Overall Health
Your oral health is systemically linked to your overall well-being. In fact, poor oral health has been linked to a variety of health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. By keeping up with preventive dental care, you're keeping up with your whole-body health.

Soft-Tissue Laser Therapy
Periodontal TreatmentCold Sore Therapy
With our soft-tissue laser, we can target specific tissues to precisely treat oral health issues like periodontal disease and cold or canker sores. Laser therapy is less invasive than traditional methods, resulting in faster, more comfortable procedures and shorter recovery times.
Periodontal Care
Patients with periodontal (gum) disease require a bit of special care. Extra cleanings that go below the gum line can help keep gum disease under control and preserve your oral health, so you can keep smiling.
Oral Cancer Screenings
While relatively rare, oral cancer can pose a serious risk to your health and even your life. During your exam, Dr. Kaur will keep an eye out for abnormalities or discolorations. If she sees anything concerning, she may recommend taking a biopsy for further analysis.
