Prevention & Maintenance
Preventive dentistry means a healthy smile, so Dr. Biggiani, Dr. Frangella, and our team of dentists focus on preventive dentistry and maintenance of optimal oral health. Prevention is always better than treatment. 
By actively preventing disease and decay through regular homecare, professional dental cleanings, and regular exams, you will keep a healthy, beautiful smile.
Dental cleanings are one of the most important services our patients receive. Good oral health is key. The first step to having healthy teeth is to prevent problems from arising in the first place. The benefits of good oral health obviously include not only being free from infection but, a youthful look and attractive smile, as well as being able to chew food comfortably, without problems.
In recent years, medical science has begun to show through substantial research that people with gum infections are at significant risk for other diseases. The same bacteria that cause gum infection can enter the bloodstream and contribute to the chemistry that forms or complicates other medical conditions. Research shows that the bacteria in the mouth can be a contributing factor in bacterial pneumonia, heart disease, and diabetes. Other studies indicate that women who are pregnant and have gum disease may be at increased risk for having a premature delivery resulting in a low birth-weight baby. We offer gum therapy to eliminate and reverse the effects of gum disease.
Having healthy gums is an important step in maintaining a healthier life. Proper homecare and regular cleanings, with dental examinations that include a thorough inspection of your gums, can be an important step in maintaining your overall health.
