At Damore Dentistry in Turnersville, NJ, we provide a comprehensive approach to preventative dental care. Our goal is to work with you and every member of your family to keep your teeth and mouth healthy — helping prevent dental and systemic conditions through routine oral health screenings, professional cleanings, and x-rays.
Preventative care starts with a comprehensive oral health screening, which lets us identify dental or systemic issues early and build a plan to address them. As part of your screening, our hygienist will check:
After your screening, our Registered Dental Hygienist performs a complete cleaning, including tartar and plaque removal, teeth polishing, and sealants or fluoride treatments where needed.
Tartar removal: Tartar is plaque that has hardened and attached firmly to the tooth's surface. It can form above and below the gum line and can only be removed by a professional hygienist or dentist.
Plaque removal: Plaque is the nearly invisible, sticky layer of food debris, saliva, and bacteria that forms on teeth. Inflammation caused by toxins from those bacteria is the beginning of periodontal disease.
Teeth polishing: Polishing removes stains and plaque that brushing and scaling have missed.
Sealants and fluorides: We offer sealants (for children) and fluoride treatments that can be applied to the teeth to help prevent future decay.
We encourage brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste, flossing before bed, using an oral rinse, and reducing sugary foods, coffee, and tobacco.
