Preventative

Dentistry

Cleanings & Prevention

Dentists know that emphasizing preventive dentistry helps patients maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for years. Additionally, without good oral habits and exams, teeth and gums may suffer damage and decay.

ABQ Gentle Dentistry prioritizes keeping your smile healthy for as long as possible. Therefore, we emphasize preventive maintenance to protect your teeth and gums. Drs. Lafferty and Martinez, along with their team, provide essential dental care. Moreover, they proudly serve patients in Albuquerque and surrounding communities with expert oral health services.

We Provide Education on Oral Health

in Albuquerque

It takes time and patience to explain why at-home habits are essential for oral health. At ABQ Gentle Dentistry, we never rush this step because patient education is a crucial part of care. Moreover, understanding the causes and effects of decay helps you appreciate daily hygiene’s importance. Additionally, we provide patients with the right techniques and tools for effective oral care.

Dental Exams for Early Detection
of Oral Health Issues

in Albuquerque

Routine exams are also key to maintaining oral health. At ABQ Gentle Dentistry, we use digital X-rays to give us the clearest images available to detect conditions like tooth decay, periodontal disease, oral cancer, and temporomandibular joint disorder. Early intervention can spare you from elaborate dental treatments and catch issues before they escalate into major health threats.

Dental Hygiene is Central to Optimal Oral Health

Finally, dental hygiene visits remove festering plaque and tartar from crevices in your teeth and under the gum line that your at-home care has not effectively addressed. This prevents cavities, gum disease, and a host of systemic health risks from progressing. Hygienists re-mineralize tooth enamel with fluoride treatments which strengthen teeth and polish enamel using an abrasive paste to gently remove surface stains.
