Preventative Dentistry
Healthy smiles start with staying ahead
Taking care of your teeth is much easier than fixing problems after they start. Our preventative care looks at your teeth, gums, bite, habits, and other changes happening in your mouth so we can catch the little things early and help keep them little.
From your child’s first visit to the cleanings you’ve been coming in for every six months for decades, Plancich Dental provides preventative dentistry for the whole family at our Tacoma and Lakewood offices.
A little prevention goes a long way
You probably know cleanings help prevent cavities. But your regular dental visits tell us a whole lot more.
We keep an eye on your gums, screen for signs of oral cancer, look for wear or changes in your bite, and pay attention to anything that could affect the long-term health of your smile. Just as importantly, you get time to ask questions and understand what’s going on in your own mouth.
The goal isn’t to find something wrong. It’s to help keep things from going wrong in the first place.
Dental Hygiene
Professional cleaning reaches places even really good brushing and flossing can’t. We’ll clear away buildup, check your teeth and gums, and send you home feeling noticeably cleaner.
Pediatric Dentistry
Little teeth deserve a good start. We make dental visits positive, comfortable, and age-appropriate while helping kids build habits they’ll carry into adulthood.
Periodontal Treatment
Healthy teeth need healthy gums. If yours are bleeding, swollen, receding, or showing signs of gum disease, we’ll figure out what’s happening and help get them back on track.
Oral Cancer Screening
It takes just a few minutes, doesn’t hurt, and gives us a chance to spot changes you may never notice yourself. That’s why oral cancer screening is part of the bigger picture of preventative care.
Been a while? That’s okay.
Six months, two years, ten years, wherever you’re starting from, we’ll meet you there.
Our Tacoma and Lakewood offices are welcoming new patients.
