Preventative Dentistry

Regular examinations at Viewpoint Dentistry are essential to promoting good oral and dental health by detecting problems before they get worse, or preventing them altogether. There is a direct relationship between oral health and systemic health conditions. Among the systemic conditions that are impacted by oral health are atherosclerotic disease which is the primary cause of most cases of heart attacks and strokes, pulmonary disease, diabetes, pregnancy complications and preterm, low-birth-weight infants, osteoporosis, and kidney disease. Routine and regular dental care not only prevents periodontal disease but also helps patients lower risk for these more serious systemic conditions. Below are some of the preventive services that our practice offers.
