You might have heard that preventive medicine is the best medicine. The same is true when it comes to taking care of your pearly whites. Proper homecare keeps your mouth healthy and your routine checkups short and sweet, saving you the stress and discomfort of long and expensive procedures in the dental chair. Making preventive dentistry a priority in your schedule and budget will not only save you time and money in the long run, but it will also set you up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Catch Problems Early With Oral Cancer Screenings
Regular Visits And The Detection Of Oral Cancer Symptoms
Practicing good oral hygiene is only the first step in keeping a healthy smile. It is important to see Dr. Craig Steichen for regular check-ups to effectively remove plaque and tartar with professional cleanings. Decay is caught at routine exams before cavities can get bigger and turn into larger and more expensive procedures. Dr. Steichen also provides screenings to detect oral cancer symptoms in the soft tissues of your mouth and catch oral cancer in its earliest stages. We rely on Identafi®3000 technology when conducting oral cancer screenings, which utilizes light fluorescence and reflection on soft tissues to detect abnormalities within the mouth.
