Preventive Dentistry in Shreveport, LA
Your Smile's Best Friend: Preventive Dentistry
We can help you and your smile.
At Loud Family Dental, we believe in the power of preventive dental care. Keeping your natural teeth healthy is one of the most important steps you can take to enhance your oral health. Our goal is to provide you with the tools to prevent disease, reverse infection, and reduce the need for extensive dental work in the future. Not only does this approach save you money, but it also preserves your radiant smile.
How We Can Help?
To prevent issues like gum disease and tooth decay, we recommend a preventive care appointment with our skilled team at least every six months, or even more frequently for some individuals. During your visit, we offer the following preventive services:
Preventive Cleaning and Exam:
During your initial visit to our Shreveport location, we perform a comprehensive examination to establish a baseline for your oral health. Subsequent periodic exams every six months help us monitor any changes and intervene promptly when needed.
Periodontal Screenings:
We assess the health of your supporting gum and bone tissue to screen for gum disease. Deep pockets around your teeth may indicate gum detachment, requiring periodontal therapy to prevent disease progression.
Fluoride Treatments:
In-office and take-home fluoride options are ideal for individuals with sensitive teeth or those at a high risk of cavities. We recommend fluoride after each cleaning to restore essential minerals.
Dental Sealants:
These protective coatings safeguard your back teeth from acids, food, and bacterial plaque. Sealants are a quick and painless way to prevent tooth decay, and they are available for both children and adults.
Oral Hygiene and Nutritional Counseling:
We provide guidance on maintaining good oral health and eliminating infection, bacteria, and other factors that can hinder your smile.
