Dental Sealant

Dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection against tooth decay, especially for children and adults with deep grooves in their molars. This quick and painless procedure involves applying a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, helping to prevent cavities and preserve your natural tooth structure.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatments are a powerful tool in preventing tooth decay. This simple and effective procedure strengthens your tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars. We offer fluoride treatments for both children and adults as part of our comprehensive preventative care approach.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection is key in the fight against oral cancer. As part of our preventative dentistry services, we perform thorough oral cancer screenings during your regular check-ups. Our experienced dentists use advanced techniques to examine your mouth for any signs of abnormalities, ensuring your overall oral health and peace of mind.

X-Rays

Dental X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool in preventative dentistry. They allow us to see what's happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums, helping us identify issues that aren't visible to the naked eye. At Lighthouse Dental, we use modern, low-radiation digital X-ray technology to ensure your safety while providing accurate and detailed images for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
