Types of preventative dentistry we provide at City Point Dental

Pediatric Dentistry

We love treating kiddos! And we love teaching them about the importance of dentistry. Did you know that it’s recommended that kids should start seeing the dentist when they're one year old, or whenever their first tooth erupts? If your child is overdue for their first pediatric dentistry visit in Hopewell, Dr. Baker and our team are here to help keep their smile bright, happy, and healthy.

Routine Cleanings

Sure, you take great care of your teeth at home. But some things, like plaque and tartar buildup, can only be removed by the pros. With routine teeth cleanings from the dental hygienists at City Point Dental, your smile will look bright and feel smooth. Not only that, but you’ll get rid of tartar buildup that contributes to gum disease, bad breath, and cavities, too! That’s a win-win-win.

Exams & X-rays

There’s more to your mouth than meets the eye. That’s why Dr. Baker always conducts a comprehensive oral exam at your six-month visit and takes in-depth x-rays every year. With an oral exam and x-rays, Dr. Baker can look below the surface, identify common dental health issues, and set you on the path to a healthier mouth.

Sealants

Dental sealants may be just what you need if you or your child struggle with cavities. Sealants consist of a thin layer of liquid resin that’s applied to your teeth, then hardened with a UV light. This forms a solid, protective barrier that helps prevent the formation of new cavities. Then, you can indulge in sugar without fear! Just make sure to brush afterward.

Mouth Guards

Your teeth need protection too! Did you know that athletic mouth guards dramatically reduce your risk of oral injuries when playing contact sports? With one of our mouth guards, you can get your game on without worrying about your teeth.

We also offer mouth guards for teeth grinding (bruxism). If you clench and grind your teeth at night, a custom-built mouth guard is just what you need to protect your teeth and prevent premature tooth damage due to teeth grinding.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Preventative Care?

Usually, the answer is “yes!” Almost all dental insurance policies cover twice-yearly cleanings and oral exams, as well as a yearly set of x-rays.

However, if you’re not sure what your insurer covers, we recommend consulting your policy or getting in touch with your insurance company directly for more info. You can also work with the team at City Point Dental to learn more about what your insurance covers. We’re always on your side!
