Prophylaxis

Prophylaxis refers to proactive healthcare that is designed to maintain good health and prevent disease. In dentistry, this means routine cleanings at the dentist’s office every six months. These cleanings help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. During these visits, the Vital Smiles Georgia team will educate your kid on how to maintain good oral hygiene at home.

Comprehensive Oral Evaluation

When your kid visits the dentist, he or she will receive a thorough exam. The kid’s dentist will look for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral problems. After the evaluations, our expert team members will meet with you to discuss your kid’s oral health status.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin, protective coatings used to prevent tooth decay. They fill in the tiny grooves of the tooth surface so that brushing becomes more effective.

The Importance of Proper Oral Care

Remember, good nutrition and good oral hygiene at home go a long way to make our job easier. We have included a number of tips and tricks throughout our website to help you teach your kid the importance of proper oral care.
