Preventative Care

If you have not been to the dentist in a while, we invite you to schedule your preventative care dental checkup with Lee Plaza Dental. At our Plaza family dental care office we treat patients of all ages, focusing on improving the health and appearance of our patients’ smiles.

Not everyone is as excited about dental care. as Dr. Jodie Lee,  D.M.D. and our staff. We understand that visiting the dentist takes a backseat priority for many reasons: busy schedules, lack of insurance, or fear of dentists. If that is you, don't worry, you are not alone. According to the USA Today, 34 percent of Americans do not visit the dentist on an annual basis.

At Lee Plaza Dental, we understand that prioritizing your dental health can sometimes be challenging due to various obstacles, whether it's a busy schedule, dental anxiety, or uncertainty about the process. That's why we are dedicated to offering you comfortable, patient-centered preventative care options designed to make maintaining your oral health as stress-free and convenient as possible. Our practice is committed to helping you overcome any barriers that may prevent you from receiving the routine care you need, so you can enjoy a healthy, confident smile for years to come.

Routine dental check-ups play a critical role in preventing a wide range of potential health issues, not just limited to your mouth but extending to your overall well-being. While daily brushing and flossing are essential habits for maintaining good oral hygiene at home, they are not enough to completely protect you from plaque buildup and tartar formation. Over time, even with diligent at-home care, plaque can harden into tartar, which can only be effectively removed by a professional dental cleaning. This is where regular visits to Lee Plaza Dental become essential.

When you skip routine dental check-ups, you may unknowingly put yourself at risk for a number of preventable conditions, including tooth decay, gum disease, and even more serious systemic issues like heart disease and diabetes, which have been linked to poor oral health. By scheduling regular visits to our office, we can not only help prevent these issues from developing but also catch any early signs of trouble before they become more complicated and costly to treat. Preventative care is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to maintain your oral health and overall well-being.

Our Preventative Care Services

  • Dental Check-up - At your dental check up the dental professional will check for cavities (this may include X-rays), plaque and tartar on your teeth, and the health of your gums.
  • Cancer or Tissue Screening - Your check-up includes a careful examination of your tongue, throat, face, head, and neck. This is to look for any signs of trouble - swelling, redness, or possible signs of cancer.
  • Teeth Cleaning – Your dentist uses tools to thoroughly clean your teeth and remove tartar that at home brushing and flossing cannot. After the tartar is removed, this is called scaling, your teeth will be polished. This helps to remove any surface stains on your teeth. The final step is flossing. Your dental professional will use floss to make sure the areas between your teeth are clean.
