Introduction To Preventative Dentistry

Preventative dentistry is all about taking care of your oral health to prevent dental issues. It combines regular check-ups and good oral hygiene practices like brushing and flossing and equips you with the knowledge to keep your smile bright and healthy. At Current Dental, we work hard to ensure our patients understand the importance of these practices. Our goal is to reduce the risk of gum disease, cavities, enamel wear, and more so you can enjoy your best oral health and wellness.

Cleanings & Hygiene

Regular professional cleanings and diligent oral hygiene routines are crucial in preventing dental issues. Our dental hygienists perform comprehensive care that eliminates plaque and tartar buildup your toothbrush can't reach. We also provide practical advice on how to enhance your oral care routine at home.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatments play a vital role in strengthening tooth enamel and protecting against decay. With a quick application of concentrated fluoride varnish, we can offer your teeth an added layer of defense against cavity-causing bacteria.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays serve as an invaluable tool in modern dentistry. They offer a detailed view of your oral landscape, helping Dr. Davis and his team to detect cavities, monitor bone density, assess tooth root condition, and identify other potential dental concerns that aren't apparent during a visual examination. Digital x-ray sensors are smaller than traditional film, providing for a more comfortable patient experience.

Periodontal Care

Periodontal disease causes loss of supporting bone surrounding our teeth. If not promptly addressed, periodontal disease or gum disease can lead to severe complications, including tooth loss. At Current Dental, we provide comprehensive periodontal examinations, and can help prevent progress and manage this disease through periodontal therapy and patient education.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection is key in managing oral cancer effectively. During your routine check-up, Dr. Davis will conduct a thorough oral cancer screening and examine your mouth for any signs of abnormalities or changes that could indicate the presence of cancer.

TMJ/Bruxism

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) and bruxism can cause discomfort, jaw pain, and even damage to your teeth. We offer various treatments to alleviate these symptoms and protect your teeth, including custom-made oral appliances.

Night Guards & Sports Guards

If you grind your teeth at night (a condition known as bruxism), we offer custom-fitted night guards. These devices create a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, protecting enamel while also preventing jaw strain.


For our patients who participate in sports, protecting your teeth, gums, and jaw from injury is a priority. We provide custom-fitted sports guards that offer superior comfort and protection compared to over-the-counter options.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a severe sleep disorder characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep. If left untreated, it can have a significant impact on your health. To help manage sleep apnea, Dr. Davis provides oral appliance therapy, an effective and comfortable alternative to traditional CPAP machines.
