Maintaining oral health and wellness with Preventive Dentistry

Taking care of the smile is more than just brushing and flossing your teeth. It’s also visiting the dentist regularly for a cleaning and evaluation. It is also participating in proactive, preventative dentistry. That means taking a proactive approach to maintaining the health of the smile. Drs.

What is laser dentistry, and how does laser dentistry work? 

In addition to providing cleanings and evaluations, our team at Taylor Dental Care also provides laser therapies. Lasers are used to treat bacteria which might contribute to the development of periodontal disease later on. They are also an excellent solution for gum contouring or other soft tissue procedures. Laser dentistry uses laser light to perform treatments that used to be done with traditional dental tools.
