Preventive dental care begins at home, with an oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing. The leading cause of tooth decay and gum disease is plaque, a bacterial film that continuously grows in your mouth, feeding off sugars and producing decaying acids. While regular, thorough brushing and flossing are effective for keeping plaque under control, there are spots that your toothbrush cannot reach. When plaque hardens and calcifies, it turns to tartar, which can only be removed by a professional teeth cleaning. Our practice uses the state-of-the-art technology and treatment methods you would expect from your Burlington dentist. For our pediatric patients, we recommend dental sealants and fluoride treatments, which are proven to reduce the risk of cavities in children. Dental sealants are protective coatings painted onto the biting surfaces of your child’s molars to prevent plaque and food debris from accumulating. Fluoride treatments also protect against cavities by preventing the erosion of tooth enamel. It is important to treat conditions such as cavities and gingivitis as soon as possible, which can be a little tricky, as both conditions may not present many, if any, symptoms before the problem progressively worsens. Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease and is prevalent in the adult population. It can be halted, and even reversed, with improved oral hygiene, as well as more frequent and intensive periodontal cleanings.

When you have a trusted, local dentist, it makes keeping up with regular visits easy. At Four Points Family Dental, our commitment to excellent comprehensive general, restorative and cosmetic treatment has earned us a reputation as the Burlington dentist, dedicated to staying at the leading edge of technology and techniques, who has cared for every generation of their families.
