The Importance Of Preventive Care
There’s more than one reason to receive preventive care from #thesmiledoc. In fact, proper preventive care is crucial to your long-term dental health.
Avoid Oral Health Issues
Regular six-month appointments and dental visits are the best way to prevent common oral health issues like gum disease and tooth decay.
Save Time & Money
Preventive care is affordable, and much cheaper than treatments like fillings, crowns, and periodontal care, which may be necessary if you don’t take preventive measures now.
Get Peace Of Mind
After every appointment, you’ll know that your mouth is clean and healthy, providing you with a confident smile and valuable peace of mind.

Cleanings & Oral Exams With Digital X-Rays
We offer comprehensive teeth cleanings and oral exams. We’ll scrape away plaque and tartar, clean and polish your teeth, and floss to ensure your smile is perfectly clean. Then, Dr. Reid will examine your mouth, and look for any common oral health issues. We use digital x-rays as part of this process, as they are faster, offer better image quality, and use less radiation compared to film-based x-rays.
Fluoride Treatments
A fluoride treatment can be done as part of any teeth cleaning. A fluoride-rich paste will be applied directly to your teeth, then rinsed away after a few minutes. The fluoride attracts minerals to your teeth, strengthening them through a process called “remineralization,” and even reversing the first stage of tooth decay.

Dental Sealants
Dental sealants consist of a liquid dental resin, which is applied to your rear teeth after a cleaning. This resin hardens into a strong, transparent barrier that prevents bacteria, acid, and food from contacting your enamel directly. In turn, this can prevent the formation of cavities for up to 10 years. Sealants are a great option for protecting your smile if you’re cavity-prone.
Periodontal Care
Dr. Reid offers a wide variety of periodontal treatments for gum disease. We offer deep cleanings (scaling & root planing) to manage gum disease. We also utilize laser therapy, which is the most effective way to destroy bacteria and help restore your oral health. Contact us now to schedule your consultation, fight back against gum disease, and ensure your gums remain healthy and strong!

Oral Cancer Screenings
We offer oral cancer screenings as part of every six-month appointment at our office. Dr. Reid will check your mouth for any potential abnormalities and growths that may indicate the presence of cancer, providing you with valuable peace of mind.
