Preventive Dental Services: How to Keep Your Teeth Strong, Healthy, and Beautiful

Our doctors and staff carefully evaluate the overall health of your teeth and gums, identify tooth decay or other areas of concern and identify alignment or bite problems that may need to be addressed. Every preventive care appointment at Dousman Family Dentistry comes with recommendations on how to maintain strong and healthy teeth at home. For patients who wish to increase their protection against cavities, we offer fluoride treatments and dental sealants.

Periodontal Exams for Waukesha County

Periodontal disease, commonly referred to as gum disease, is the number one reason for tooth loss. It’s also connected to numerous chronic illnesses, including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory problems, premature births, stroke, and osteoarthritis.

For example, gum disease is four times more common in patients who have rheumatoid arthritis than in those who don’t.  As part of our preventive exams, you’ll undergo screening not just for gum disease, but also oral cancer and temporal mandibular joint (TMJ) problems.

Periodontal Exam Cost

The cost for a periodontal disease screening in Wisconsin ranges between $140 and $300. 

Comprehensive Dental Care Close to Home

Our doctors will then perform a more comprehensive exam and talk with you about any recommendations for the next steps related to the exam or provide education and instruction for oral hygiene. 

Through regular preventive visits, you can ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy, address issues before they become serious or require more expensive dental work, and discover any illnesses that may be present.

Many people come into our office and experience symptoms of bruxism. If you're grinding your teeth, and it's causing you any kind of pain, you might need a mouthguard or more extensive treatment depending on how severe your teeth grinding is.
