Preventive care supports your oral and overall health. Good habits at home and regular cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other issues

Routine check-ups allow us to monitor your oral health so you can address any minor concerns before they become more complex, costly, and invasive.

Dental cleanings and exams

Regular dental check-ups play a vital role in preventive care. During these visits, we thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, removing plaque and debris from every surface. You might even see a reduction in minor surface stains, helping to keep your smile bright and beautiful.

We also carefully examine your mouth for cavities, gum disease, and other dental concerns. Your appointment may include X-rays and other diagnostic tests to detect any hidden problems early. We’ll also discuss your diet, oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle factors that can affect your overall oral health.

At the end of your visit, you’ll receive professional at-home care products along with personalized instructions and recommendations tailored specifically for you.

Periodontal care

A healthy smile involves more than just your teeth – your gums play a crucial role too. Periodontal care includes a variety of treatments designed to prevent and treat gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss and other health problems if left untreated.

Our highly skilled team provides comprehensive periodontal care, including deep cleanings, scaling, and root planing to eliminate gum infection and inflammation, helping you maintain a healthy and confident smile.

We are proud to have an experienced periodontist on our team who delivers these treatments with exceptional expertise and personalized care to ensure the best possible outcome for your gum health. You can trust us to support you every step of the way.

Fluoride treatments & protective sealants

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays an important part in keeping your teeth strong and healthy. It helps rebuild weakened enamel, slows down the loss of minerals from the tooth surface, and protects against the acids produced by plaque, bacteria, and sugary foods.

During your visit, we may recommend a professional fluoride treatment as a preventive step against tooth decay. Once plaque begins producing acid, it can erode enamel and eventually reach the inner layers of the tooth, causing sensitivity, infection, or even nerve damage. Fluoride treatments help interrupt this process by reinforcing the tooth’s outer layer and increasing resistance to decay.

At Roseroot Dental, we typically apply a concentrated fluoride varnish at the end of your cleaning. This quick, non-invasive procedure only takes a few minutes, and we ask patients to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes afterward to allow for optimal absorption.

For patients who may be more prone to cavities — including children, those with exposed root surfaces, orthodontic appliances, or dry mouth — we also offer custom-made fluoride trays for home use.
These trays are designed to deliver fluoride exactly where it’s needed and can be used regularly as part of your at-home routine. We believe in the long-term benefits of fluoride, and our goal is to help you preserve your natural teeth for life.

Dental Sealants

The back teeth — especially molars — have deep grooves where food particles and bacteria can easily collect, making them more prone to cavities even with regular brushing. Dental sealants offer a simple and highly effective way to protect these vulnerable areas.

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the biting surfaces of the molars, creating a barrier that blocks out plaque and bacteria. The process is quick, painless, and provides an extra layer of defense where it’s often needed most. While especially beneficial for children — whose developing teeth are more cavity-prone — dental sealants are also a great preventive option for adults.

Whether you’re protecting a child’s growing smile or maintaining your own, sealants can help reduce the risk of tooth decay for years to come.

Oral Cancer Screening

Early detection plays a key role in the successful treatment of oral cancer, which often develops without noticeable symptoms. That’s why we include a thorough oral cancer screening as part of your routine dental exam.

Using advanced diagnostic tools and techniques, we examine your mouth for any subtle changes, abnormalities, or suspicious areas. This simple step supports your long-term oral health and gives you greater peace of mind.

Appliances

Night Guards

Grinding your teeth, also known as bruxism, isn’t limited to nighttime—it can happen during the day too and significantly impact your lifestyle. This habitual grinding or clenching puts excessive pressure on your teeth, leading to enamel wear, irreversible damage, and increased tooth sensitivity.

Over time, bruxism can weaken tooth structure, cause lasting harm, and strain the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), resulting in jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing. Custom-made night guards provide a comfortable, effective barrier that protects your teeth from grinding and clenching. They also help relieve stress on the TMJ by reducing muscle tension and evenly distributing the pressure in your jaw.

This not only preserves your enamel but also supports jaw relaxation and helps alleviate discomfort. Don’t let bruxism undermine your dental health and daily life — safeguard your smile and jaw with a personalized night guard.

Sport Guards

If you play contact sports, a custom sport guard is essential for protecting your teeth, lips, and gums from injury. Made to fit your mouth precisely, our sport guards absorb impacts and help prevent dental trauma, allowing you to play confidently and safely.

Sleep Apnea and Snoring Solutions

We also offer oral appliance therapy designed to help manage sleep apnea and reduce snoring. These custom devices gently reposition your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open during sleep, improving breathing and enhancing overall sleep quality. Oral appliances are a convenient, non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines for many patients, helping you wake up feeling refreshed and energized.
