Preventative Dentistry

Six-month dental visits are a regular part of preventative dental care for adults and children. Here at Washington Smiles, we recommend regular dental cleanings and checkups to prevent major dental problems as much as possible.

Preventative dentistry services help to prevent problems before they start. During your checkup appointment, we keep an eye on small issues before they worsen. For preventative care, we offer the following services:

• caries ID system to detect cavities
• teeth cleanings

• dental examinations
• digital radiography

• scaling
• oral cancer detection using VELscope®
