Preventive services offered at Living Wellness Dental

Thanks to modern science, it has become increasingly clear that the mouth is the “gateway” to whole person wellness. One of the fundamental tenets of general dentistry practiced from a biological approach is the concept of proactive and preventative dental treatment with a view towards whole body health. For many, thanks to life’s demands, just getting to the dentist represents a significant personal achievement. There are those for whom, even the very thought of going to the dentist conjures up stressful feelings and cold sweats. This sentiment may stem from unpleasant previous experience, or perhaps from Hollywood’s portrayal of dentists (does Steve Martin in the Little Shop of Horrors ring a bell)? However, achieving oral health and whole body wellness requires that clients take a proactive approach involving numerous comfortable and convenient steps. If you are serious about living well and are searching for a “…dental office near me” in the communities of Calgary and Airdrie, Alberta, now is the time to connect with the team at Living Wellness Dental.

What preventative services are available at Living Wellness Dental?

Below are the primary preventive dental services offered by our team:

• DIAGNOdent is a unique instrument used to help the dentist detect cavities even before they are visible to the naked eye.
• VELscope oral cancer screening – upon request, your dentist may use this tool to reveal any concerns with mouth tissues. Early detection and treatment are known to be the optimal method for managing oral cancer.
• Dental examinations – every six months, the dentist should evaluate the smile to monitor for signs of tooth decay or tissue degeneration. These are also great opportunities to discuss any changes in the function of your oral system.
• Hygiene appointments – each visit includes a therapeutic ozonated treatment helping minimize harmful oral bacteria. That, coupled with frequent visits to your hygienist allows for proactive steps to be taken to maintain oral health and a radiant smile.
• Dental x-rays – your teeth are only the “tip of the iceberg”. X-rays show your dental professionals what is going on beneath the surface and can provide valuable information that will lead to helpful, proactive dental treatment plans. 
• Guidance on nature-based remedies and a well-planned home dental care routine – nothing outlined above can replace the value of the dental care you perform in your own home. Our team of professionals can help develop a home care strategy that involves tools and products that will result in a healthy, white smile that will mesmerize your friendship network.
