At North Atlanta Family Dentistry in Cumming, GA, we believe the best dental care prevents problems before they start. Our preventive approach goes beyond routine checkups, focusing on early detection, personalized education, and long-term oral wellness. By addressing small issues early, we help you avoid discomfort, complex treatment, and unnecessary expense, keeping your smile healthy, strong, and confident for life.
Our top preventive dental services in Cumming, GA, include:
Professional Cleanings
Even with great brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Our professional cleanings remove these deposits from above and below the gumline, reducing inflammation and protecting against gum disease. You’ll leave with a healthier mouth and a noticeably fresher smile.
Comprehensive Dental Exams
Your dental exam is a complete evaluation of your oral health, not just your teeth. We assess your gums, jaw joints (TMJ), bite alignment, and signs of early wear or decay. This thorough approach allows us to catch concerns early and recommend conservative, effective treatment.
Fluoride & Varnish Treatments
Fluoride varnish strengthens enamel and helps protect against cavities. This fast, painless treatment provides concentrated remineralization, making teeth more resistant to acid and bacteria while also helping reduce tooth sensitivity.
Dental Sealants
Sealants protect the deep grooves of back teeth where cavities commonly form. This thin, tooth-colored coating seals out food and bacteria, significantly lowering the risk of decay. Sealants are quick, non-invasive, and ideal for both children and adults.
Teeth Desensitizing Treatments
If hot, cold, or sweet foods cause discomfort, our in-office desensitizing treatments can help. These medical-grade solutions provide immediate relief by sealing exposed areas of the tooth, offering faster and longer-lasting results than over-the-counter products.
Halitosis (Bad Breath) Treatment
Chronic bad breath often signals an underlying oral health issue. We identify and treat the root cause—such as bacteria buildup, gum disease, or decay, using targeted cleaning and antimicrobial therapy to restore a healthy oral balance and long-lasting freshness.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Every comprehensive exam includes an oral cancer screening. We check for subtle tissue changes in the mouth, tongue, and throat to support early detection and peace of mind. This screening is a vital part of protecting your overall health.
Custom Night Guards for Bruxism
Teeth grinding and clenching can lead to worn enamel, jaw pain, and headaches. Our custom night guards are precisely fitted to protect your teeth and reduce jaw strain while you sleep, offering greater comfort and protection than store-bought options.
