How Preventive Care Works

Preventive dental care includes regular exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, oral cancer screenings, and patient education.

Preventive Care FAQ

How often should I visit the dentist?

Most patients benefit from visits every six months, though some may need more frequent care based on risk factors.

What’s included in a preventive dental appointment?
Preventive dental care has two components. The first is routine examinations by the dentist, which include digital X-rays (if needed) and treatment recommendations for any issues detected. The second is a professional cleaning by a dental hygienist which includes recommendations for home oral care to maintain a healthy smile. Please be sure to mention you want both an exam and a cleaning when you schedule so we can be sure to book both services during your scheduled time.
Do kids need preventive care too?

Absolutely—early dental care helps set the foundation for lifelong oral health.

Is preventive care covered by insurance?

Most dental insurance plans cover preventive visits at 100%. We’re happy to help you understand your benefits.

Can I get a cleaning at the same time as my exam?

Yes—just let us know when scheduling so we can allow time for both services.

"I was always nervous about visiting the dentist, but the team at North Lakewood Dental changed that. The sedation dentistry options they offer helped me relax through a big procedure, and I didn’t feel a thing. It was such a relief to finally find a dental office where I feel comfortable and cared for."

"After years of hiding my smile, I decided to try Invisalign at North Lakewood Dental. The process was so easy, and the results have been amazing.
