PREVENTIVE CARE

Preventive Dental Care in Houma, LA

Taking sufficient care of your teeth can mean fewer problems in the future. Preventative dental care is all about following an efficient oral hygiene routine to prevent the occurrence of avoidable issues. Chronic dental problems such as tooth wear, cavities, gum disease, and other oral issues can be prevented. You can save yourself unnecessary pain, discomfort, time, and expenditure with preventive measures. We provide effective preventive dental services to help maintain your oral functions and smile appearance.

What Is Included In Routine Dental Care?

Even if you have excellent home oral care habits, you must still visit your dentist as recommended. Dental health can affect areas of our body beyond the mouth. Your oral health and general well-being can be maintained by following the routine self-dental care practices, including:

  • Brushing your teeth twice a day
  • Flossing once a day
  • Visiting your dental provider for check-ups and professional cleaning
  • Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle

Preventative Dental Care Services

At Robichaux Family Dentistry, we offer a wide range of comprehensive preventative dentistry services. Dr. Jacob Robichaux wants his patients to have healthy, beautiful smiles. One of our goals is to provide education on oral health care. We believe everyone deserves to feel optimistic about the health and appearance of their smile. Our preventative services include:

  • Dental Examination

Our dental exams involve a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and other soft tissues in your mouth, head and neck. We take X-rays to support our visual inspection and uncover problems hidden in the visual exam, confirm the oral problems, and provide appropriate care.

  • Professional Teeth Cleanings

Once the dental exam is completed, we will perform a thorough teeth cleaning. This can include scaling and root planing procedures with specialized dental tools to remove plaque and tartar deposits accumulated on your teeth. Finally, your teeth are polished to give you a sparkling smile.

  • Fluoride Treatments

We carry out fluoride applications to prevent cavity formations and strengthen your teeth as part of our preventive care.

  • Custom-Made Mouthguards

Dr. Jacob Robichaux may recommend a custom-made mouthguard, especially if you suffer from nighttime clenching and grinding. Other reasons for wearing a mouthguard include playing contact sports with a high possibility of incurring injuries.

  • Preventative Care for Kids

Regular dental visits for kids can help create a lifetime of healthy oral habits. It is crucial for your child to develop these habits from a young age so that they can continue well into adulthood. We suggest you bring your child for their first dental visit by the age of 1.

Robichaux Family Dentistry provides dental solutions to improve your oral health while transforming smiles. Visit us at 235 Corporate Dr, Houma, LA 70360, or call (985) 580-3200 and schedule an appointment.
