Building Healthy Habits: Desert Creek Dental Promotes Oral Health

Family dentistry in Queen Creek emphasizes oral health through excellent oral hygiene, regular checkups, and professional teeth cleanings.

By adopting and implementing positive habits, you can keep your smile healthy for life and lower your risks for preventable conditions that can be costly and force you to spend more time in the dental chair.

At Desert Creek Dental, we care for smiles of all ages!

Your Checkup and Teeth Cleaning in Queen Creek

We follow guidelines established by the American Dental Association, which recommends twice-yearly dental exams and teeth cleanings. These preventive appointments include the following:

• A thorough visual exam of the teeth and gums
• Periodic dental x-rays
• A professional teeth cleaning
• A periodontal health check
• An oral cancer screening

If you’re prone to tooth decay or have compromised enamel, your dentist may recommend dental sealants or fluoride treatments to lower your cavity risks and remineralize your enamel. These are common treatments for children.

Should your dentist find issues during your exam, we discuss the findings with you, lay out the treatment options, and then plan your care—for example, if we discover tooth decay, we schedule you for cavity treatment.  

Your dental visit schedule will vary for patients with diagnosed conditions like periodontal disease.

Adopting Excellent Oral Hygiene

Between checkups and dental cleanings, keeping your smile healthy is crucial.

• Brush your teeth after every meal or at least twice daily.
• Floss your teeth after every meal or at least once daily.
• Adopt a diet low in sugar and acidity.
• Report oral health changes to your Queen Creek family dentist.

Our team members, including your dentist, are happy to demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques and discuss nutrition choices with you.
