Preventative Dentistry |
| Dr. Ciccone recommends that certain procedures be performed at regular dental visits as part of your proper dental hygiene. This preventative dentistry prevents problems before they start, corrects routine problems before they worsen, and identifies serious oral problems so they can be properly treated. |

| Cleaning
|
|
| Regular dental cleanings by Dr. Ciccone or his dental hygienist are part of a proper oral hygiene program. Cleanings help fight plaque, the major cause of tooth decay, gingivitis and serious gum disease. |
|
| Dental Exams
|
|
| Regular dental exams are a crucial part of preventative dentistry because they allow Dr. Ciccone to address dental problems in their early stages, and to identify serious problems. Most people need an exam every six months, but Dr. Ciccone may recommend more frequent visits depending on your circumstances. |

| Digital Radiography |
|
| Digital Radiography is a form of x-ray photography without film that produces 80% less radiation than the usual x-ray used in a dentist's office. |
|
| Polishing
|
|
| Polishing is often the last step of a dental cleaning, scaling, and some restorative procedures. It smoothes and polishes teeth or restoration surface and removes some stains. |
|
| Scaling
|
|
| Plaque that remains on teeth eventually hardens into tartar, which is virtually impossible to remove with brushing and flossing alone. Scaling is the deep-cleaning procedure Dr. Ciccone or hygienist uses to scrape the tartar off your teeth at and below the gumline. |
