Strengthen & Protect Your Teeth With Preventive Dental Treatments
Preventing dental problems like tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease begins at home with daily brushing and flossing. But it certainly doesn’t stop there! You also need general dental care from Dr. Wendelschafer and our skilled team to keep your smile healthy. Routine cleanings and exams help you stay ahead of threats to your oral health. They also allow us to catch problems early and take care of them right away before they become more complicated and costly to treat. Here are a few preventive treatments and detection methods included in your comprehensive dental care:
- Dental Sealants – Shield vulnerable back molars from harmful bacteria and decay with thin protective layers of plastic
- Fluoride Treatments – Strengthen tooth enamel, remineralize teeth, and help block out bacteria that cause cavities
- Cavity Detection – Spot early signs of decay using DIAGNOdent laser technology and quick digital X-rays
- Oral Cancer Screenings – Check your gums, lips, cheeks, and tongue for changes so concerns can be caught as early as possible

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings & Exams
The length of a dental cleaning and exam depends on several factors. If you’re a new patient, it will take longer, as we’ll take a complete set of X-rays and record a detailed dental history so we have a baseline for future visits. If you’re an established patient, a dental cleaning and exam will normally take about an hour.
Dr. Wendelschafer and our team recommend you get a dental cleaning and exam at least every six months. Regular checkups give us a way to keep an eye on your dental health and provide early treatment for any problems we see, such as cavities or gum disease. Plus, regular cleanings will help keep your teeth their cleanest and whitest.
At each dental cleaning and exam, your dental hygienist will look over your mouth, making note of any areas that Dr. Wendelschafer needs to pay special attention to. We may also take a set of X-rays for a detailed look. Then your hygienist will thoroughly clean and polish your teeth. Next, Dr. Wendelschafer will perform a complete dental exam, and we’ll make any recommendations needed to keep your smile healthy.
