PREVENTATIVE SERVICES Preventative care is the key to a lifetime of good oral health. Daily brushing and flossing remove bacteria from the mouth. If allowed to build up, bacteria adheres to the teeth, tongue and soft tissues, forming plaque that over time can mineralize into a hard substance called calculus. Only professional cleanings can remove calculus. Inadequate plaque control is the primary cause of gingivitis (inflamed gums), periodontitis (gum disease), and bad breath. Patients can minimize bacterial accumulation through regular brushing, flossing, and periodic dental hygiene appointments.
Dr. Bova and her staff are committed to helping you maintain that healthy, beautiful smile by providing regular evaluations so that any problems can be identified early and treated before they put your teeth and mouth at risk.
