Preventive Dentistry

Most dental trouble starts quietly. A cavity does not hurt when it begins, gum disease rarely announces itself, and by the time something aches, the simple fix has usually grown into a longer one.
Preventive dentistry is how you stay ahead of that. It is a short visit, twice a year for most people, and it is the visit that prevents most of the others.
At Summit Dental Canton the preventive side of our care covers four things: a dental cleaning and exam, digital X-rays when images will help, treatment for gums that are showing early trouble, and an oral cancer screening. You leave knowing exactly where your mouth stands.
Dental Emergency?

Routine Cleanings & Exams
A professional cleaning plus a full exam of your teeth, gums, and bite, to keep small problems small.

Digital X-Rays
Fast, low-radiation images that reveal decay and bone changes long before you would feel them.

Oral Cancer Screenings
A quick, painless look at the soft tissue in your mouth, included with your regular exam, checking for changes worth watching.
