But you must do your part, too, by brushing and flossing, eating well, seeing us regularly, and adapting to treatment so you can heal. Prevention is the most important part of good oral health.

Hygiene tips
These kinds of services help prevent cavities and increase your level of independence:
Cavity examination, diagnosis and screening
Cavities can be found and assessed with our 4.5x magnification glasses and digital x-rays. If you have dental cavities, we know that they harbor bacteria that cause tooth decay. You are therefore at risk for the multiplication of dental cavities.
Cleaning
The dental cleaning is carried out by our hygienist who, using different tools and techniques, removes the plaque and stains that have been building up on the teeth.
