A Preemptive Approach to Oral Healthcare
It is much easier to mitigate common dental issues like cavities and gum disease than it is to treat them. This is why our dentists at West Broward Dental Associates encourage patients to embrace preventive dental solutions twice each year. With six-month dental checkups and cleanings in addition to other proactive solutions, we can help you take better care of your oral and overall health so that the chances of needing restorative care in the future remain low.

Why Choose West Broward Dental Associates for Preventive Dentistry?
Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Twice a year, you are encouraged to visit our office for a dental checkup and cleaning. As one of the most effective preventive solutions we offer, our dentists’ patient-friendly approach ensures optimal comfort while we examine your mouth for any cavities or signs of infection, gum disease, or decay. Using specialized instruments and innovative technologies, we can look at the entirety of your smile and reach areas that might otherwise be missed with regular brushing and flossing.
We’ll also provide a professional cleaning that includes the removal of accumulated plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. This process reduces the risk of gum disease while leaving you with a fresher, healthier smile.
Oral Cancer Screening
With one life being lost to oral cancer every hour in the United States, it’s imperative that Dr. Mihran and Dr. Armand provide an effective solution that is designed to detect the earliest signs of this deadly disease. With an oral cancer screening as part of your regular dental checkup, we can quickly and painlessly examine your mouth, head, and neck for any lesions, sores, or abnormalities. By catching the problem early on, we can get you the treatment you need and increase your chances of survival.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental decay is a common threat among patients of all ages. Even if proper brushing and flossing occur at home, you may lack the necessary exposure to fluoride to keep your teeth better protected. Fortunately, we can incorporate additional fluoride treatment into your next dental checkup so that your smile remains safeguarded against cavities. By applying this topical varnish to the surfaces of your teeth, it will also strengthen existing enamel.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are commonly used on the smiles of young patients; however, they are equally beneficial for adults who struggle with cavities forming on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Consisting of many pits and grooves, it’s easy for bacteria to penetrate and wreak havoc on these molars. With dental sealants, though, we can shield these areas against dental decay so that teeth remain protected for up to 10 years.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Stress and a misaligned bite are two of the most common reasons a patient might develop bruxism. More commonly referred to as teeth grinding, this unhealthy habit may not be detected unless a dentist inquires during a regular appointment. Worn-down tooth enamel and jaw pain tend to be the most frequent symptoms, both of which can lead to sensitivity and TMJ. With a custom nightguard created by our talented team, we can help keep your upper and lower rows of teeth from touching while you sleep, allowing you to wake up well-rested and free of pain.
