Many common dental problems develop gradually. Regular exams, cleanings, and daily care can lower the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns.
At Dental Faith, we focus on preventive care based on your individual needs. Regular cleanings and dental exams can help identify concerns early, when treatment may be less involved.
Staying ahead of dental problems starts with the right routine care. We offer all of the following in one office.
A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home cannot remove. During your exam, we check your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health for signs of dental problems. Dr. Fedler will recommend a visit schedule based on your individual needs.
Digital X-rays help us examine areas that may not be visible during a regular dental exam, including spaces between the teeth and below the gumline. X-rays are recommended based on each patient’s dental history, symptoms, age, and risk factors.
Fluoride strengthens enamel and makes teeth more resistant to decay. We recommend it for both children and adults, especially patients who are at higher risk for cavities.
We check your gums for redness, bleeding, inflammation, and other signs of gum disease. If we find a concern, we explain what we see and discuss the recommended next steps.
Dental sealants cover the deep grooves of the back teeth, where food and bacteria commonly collect. They may be recommended for children, teens, and some adults based on their risk for cavities.

The Value of Regular Dental Care
Preventive dental care helps lower the risk of cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Regular visits also give your dentist an opportunity to identify changes that may require treatment or further evaluation.
Brushing and flossing at home are important, but they cannot remove hardened tartar or show problems beneath the gums and between the teeth. Professional exams and cleanings work alongside your daily routine.
Periodontal disease has been associated with health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. These connections are still being studied, and gum disease has not been shown to directly cause heart disease.
Regular visits also allow us to compare changes in your teeth and gums over time. This helps Dr. Fedler provide recommendations based on your dental history and current oral health.

Many patients visit the dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings, but the right schedule depends on the individual.
Patients with gum disease, frequent cavities, tobacco use, certain health conditions, or other risk factors may need more frequent visits. Dr. Fedler will recommend a schedule based on your dental history and current oral health.
Children should generally have their first dental visit after the first tooth appears and no later than their first birthday. Early visits allow the dentist to check oral development and help families begin healthy dental habits.
We explain why a certain schedule is recommended and answer any questions you may have about your care.

Preventive dentistry includes routine care such as dental exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants. These services help lower the risk of dental problems and identify concerns that may need treatment.
A routine cleaning and exam is one of the most affordable dental services available. Most insurance plans cover it fully. For patients without insurance, we offer membership and financing options. Call us and we will walk you through the numbers before your visit.
Most patients do well with two visits per year. If you have a history of gum disease, get cavities often, or have certain health conditions, we may recommend coming in more frequently. We build a schedule that fits your actual needs.
For most patients, yes. Fluoride strengthens enamel and reduces the risk of cavities. It is especially important for children and for adults who are more prone to decay. We assess your risk level and recommend fluoride only when it makes sense for your teeth.
Yes. While sealants are most commonly used for children, adults without decay or fillings in their back teeth can benefit from them too. They seal out food and bacteria from the deep grooves where cavities most often form.
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive care at 100%, including cleanings, exams, and X-rays. We verify your benefits before your appointment so you know exactly what is covered and what to expect.
We check every tooth for signs of decay, examine your gums for early signs of disease, screen for oral cancer, review your X-rays, and assess your bite and jaw. At the end, we go over everything we found and talk through any next steps. No surprises.
