Preventative Treatment

Preventative dental care is the first line of defense against potentially costly dental problems like periodontitis and advanced decay. One of the most effective preventative treatments we offer is twice-a-year cleanings and exams. During your visit, the doctors of NAPA Dental of ABQ may recommend other affordable preventative treatments, such as sealants and fluoride.

Benefits of Preventative Care

Preventing the development of dental problems is always preferable to treating them. Two of the most common oral health issues that are easily preventable include tooth decay and gum disease. Both of these dental problems originate from poor oral hygiene habits that result in the accumulation of plaque and tartar on your teeth. Dental cleanings, sealants, and fluoride all address the root causes of these preventable problems.

All of the preventative treatments offered at NAPA Dental of ABQ are non-invasive, meaning they do not require alterations to your natural tooth structure and gums. The treatments do not require the use of anesthesia because the procedures are completely comfortable. Undergoing teeth cleanings can prevent the need for having a tooth extracted or another invasive procedure.

Preventative care also saves you money. Many dental insurance plans cover most or all of the cost associated with cleanings and exams. If you do require fillings, part of that procedure may also be covered by your insurance provider. Taking preventative steps can prevent the need for undergoing costly procedures like a root canal or an extraction that could require a dental implant.

As an example, we offer treatments for bruxism. Addressing teeth grinding early through the use of a comfortable and affordable mouthguard can prevent irreversible damage to your teeth. If you have concerns about the affordability of preventative dental care, we have an in-office discount plan. We also offer Compassionate Finance and CareCredit.
