Routine Dental Exams and Cleanings for the Whole Family

Prevention is the foundation of good oral health, so it’s crucial to start with routine dental exams and cleanings from the time a baby’s first teeth erupt, continuing through childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and into your retirement years. At Westview Dental, we can work with all members of your family under one roof, coordinating appointments to fit your family’s schedule. This also provides our dental care team with helpful generational insight into your family’s oral health patterns. This enables us to provide a more comprehensive dimension to your family dentistry services over the years, as we provide these foundational oral health services, adapted to your age and circumstances:

Dental Exams

Most family members should have a dental exam every six months. We check all the teeth, the gum tissues, and all other tissues in your mouth to ensure everything is healthy and developing properly according to your age. We also use dental X-rays periodically for timely diagnosis of cavities, tooth decay, and other problems that are easier to treat in their early stages. This 360-degree view of your oral health situation gives us the diagnostic information we need for appropriate treatment and thorough cleanings.

Professional Dental Cleanings

Based on the information gained during a thorough oral exam, our dental hygienists keep you comfortable as they clean and polish your teeth for a bright, healthy smile. Regular dental cleanings are crucial for removing stubborn tartar that develops in those hard-to-reach spots of even the most attentive toothbrushers of all ages! This ensures that common problems like tooth decay and gingivitis do not develop into painful cavities or full-blown gum disease. These cleanings are just as important for the children as the adults in the family, as they help establish healthy dental hygiene habits for life.

Children’s Dental Care in League City

Speaking of kids, the whole team at Westview Dental has created a child-friendly atmosphere that helps children look forward to their regular exam and cleaning visits. We show kids that going to the dentist can even be fun while helping them develop good dental hygiene habits for life. Our League City dentists actively educate younger members of the family about how and why good brushing, flossing, and nutrition habits can keep their smiles happy and healthy. And because it can be hard for younger kids to remember to floss, or really get their premolars and molars truly clean every day, we provide services that help cover those gaps:

Dental Sealants

We can apply an invisible, white sealant barrier that hardens over craggy molars’ surfaces to shield these vulnerable spots from food particles, bacteria, plaque, and cavities. Dental sealants can block cavity development for years. Even adults can get dental sealants!

Fluoride treatments

Fluoride treatments can significantly reduce cavity formation over time. Even if you use a fluoride toothpaste, periodic dental fluoride treatments can help both children and adults of all ages to maintain stronger tooth enamel that is more cavity-resistant. It’s a quick, simple treatment that is often part of a regular dental exam and cleaning appointment.

Gum Disease Prevention and Treatment

As adults age, gum disease becomes a more common problem because of tartar buildup in hard-to-brush areas. Although you can do a lot at home with thorough brushing and flossing, tartar is a sneaky, cement-like substance that will still form in hard-to-reach areas. Unchecked, this can damage teeth, gums, and even the bones that hold your teeth in place. As you keep your regular dental appointments through the years, the dentists League City, TX neighbors trust will keep a close eye on any signs of gum disease, and help you combat it so you can have a healthy smile long into your retirement age.
