Dental Hygiene

Preventive Dental Care in Middletown, New Jersey

The dental hygiene team at McCabe Dentistry is dedicated to helping their patients prevent and treat conditions such as gum disease, periodontal disease and tooth decay. Our registered dental hygienists work alongside each patient to prevent dental disease in a way that is tailored to individual needs. In order to provide comprehensive, holistic dentistry, each patient will receive a health history review, intra and extra-oral cancer screening and nutrition counseling. Risk factors such as genetic or systemic health that may predispose patients to dental disease will be identified so that optimum preventive care measures can be taken.

Our Team Cares About Your Comfort

The hygienists at McCabe Dentistry are careful to ensure the comfort of each patient they see. Our office utilizes ultrasonic instruments, which allow for optimum removal of bacteria while also irrigating pathogens out of infected areas. We also offer desensitizing treatments during the appointment for patients with increased sensitivity. While we recommend that most patients have preventive care visits about every 6 months, we also see patients who haven’t been to the dentist in a long time, or are suffering from gum disease. Each patient at our family dental office is a co-planner for their treatment, so that we can provide comprehensive therapy that addresses their concerns and needs.

In addition to cleanings, we offer preventive therapies such as CariFree, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. When utilized effectively, these preventive measures can reduce and prevent dental decay from developing or intensifying. If traditional brushing and flossing isn’t working for you, Doctor’s dental hygiene team will help tailor a preventive care routine that does.

We invite you to call us today, so that we can help you achieve the beautiful, healthy smile that you are searching for.
