Preventive Dental Care in Baxter, MN Preventive dental care is the foundation of a healthy, lasting smile. At Design Dentistry, our goal is to help you avoid future dental issues by keeping your teeth and gums in excellent condition today. Through routine exams, cleanings, and proactive treatments, we work with you to maintain your oral health and ensure your smile stays beautiful for years to come.
Regular exams and cleanings are the cornerstone of your preventive care. During your visit, our hygienists will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to decay and gum disease. Dr. Taylor, Dr. Tran, or Dr. Lunning will then perform a comprehensive exam to check for any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other issues, ensuring a detailed picture of your oral health.
We use modern digital X-rays to get a precise and comprehensive view of your teeth, roots, and jawbone. This technology allows us to detect problems that aren't visible during a regular exam, such as small areas of decay between teeth, issues with your roots, or the presence of impacted wisdom teeth. Digital X-rays are a safe and effective way to get an accurate diagnosis and create the most effective treatment plan for you.
Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. We can apply professional fluoride treatments for both children and adults. Additionally, we may recommend dental sealants, which are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. These are highly effective in preventing cavities, especially in children and teens.
As part of every routine dental exam, our team performs a thorough oral cancer screening. This quick and painless check is vital for the early detection of any suspicious changes in your mouth, head, or neck. Early diagnosis is key to successful treatment, and we are committed to looking out for your overall health as well as your smile.
With over 80 years of combined experience, our dentists and team provide skilled, compassionate care you can trust, right here in the Baxter community.
