Sage Hills Dental: Get a Healthier Smile with Preventive Care
At Sage Hills Dental, we want to provide the best dental care for your smile. Our experienced team led by Dr. Gardner provides personalized care in a comfortable setting. We focus on preventive care to prevent dental problems from happening in the first place so you and your family can have optimal oral health.
The Importance of Preventive Care
Preventive dental care is the foundation of a healthy smile. Regular check-ups and cleanings are key to catching problems early so we can minimize future treatment. By focusing on prevention, we help our patients avoid tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues, which can lead to bigger health problems if left untreated.
Our Preventive Care Services
At Sage Hills Dental, we offer a full range of cosmetic dentistry services to give you the smile you’ve always wanted. Here are some of the treatments we offer:
Routine Exams and Cleanings
Exams and cleanings are essential for preventive dentistry. Our hygienists thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that can lead to cavities and gum disease. During your exam, Dr. Gardner will check for any oral health issues and provide early intervention when needed.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. At Sage Hills Dental, we offer fluoride treatments that add an extra layer of protection for your teeth, especially for children and those who are more prone to cavities.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are a coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay often starts. This quick and painless procedure can reduce the risk of cavities, especially for children and teenagers.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection is crucial when it comes to oral cancer. Our exams include screenings for oral cancer so we can catch any issues in their early stages and provide prompt treatment to prevent their progression.
Patient Education
Oral education is part of preventive care. That is why we take the time to educate our patients on how to take care of their oral health at home, including proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Ensure the longevity of your smile with our thorough dental exams. Our team is dedicated to detecting and preventing issues early.

Preventive Dental Care FAQ
1. What is preventive dental care?
Preventive dental care is regular check-ups, cleanings, and other services to maintain oral health and prevent dental problems from happening.
How often should I come in for preventive care?
Every 6 months is generally recommended, but your dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your individual needs.
Are dental sealants only for children?
No. While dental sealants are typically applied to children’s teeth, adults can also benefit from them. This is particularly true for those who have deep grooves in their molars or are more prone to decay.
How does fluoride treatment help my teeth?
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay and cavities. It can also reverse the early stages of decay.
Why are oral cancer screenings important?
Oral cancer screenings are part of preventive care because they catch cancer early when it’s most treatable. Regular screenings can save lives by detecting cancer before it progresses.
