Key Preventative Services at Wang and Cortes Dental
Our preventative dentistry services are designed to support every aspect of your oral health, from children to adults. Here’s what we offer to help keep your smile bright and healthy:
- Dental Exams & Cleanings
Regular exams and cleanings are the foundation of preventive care. During your visit, we’ll assess your teeth and gums, remove plaque buildup, and ensure any potential issues are identified early. For more details, visit our Dental Exams & Cleanings page. - Dental Sealants
Sealants offer an extra layer of protection, especially for young patients or adults prone to cavities. These thin coatings protect the grooves of your back teeth, keeping bacteria out. Learn more on our Dental Sealants page. - Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities. Our fluoride treatments are a quick, effective way to reinforce your teeth. More information is available on our Fluoride Treatment page. - Oral Cancer Screening
Early detection is key in treating oral cancer effectively. Our oral cancer screenings during exams allow us to catch any unusual changes or signs as early as possible. For more about our screening process, visit Oral Cancer Screening.
