Preventative Dentistry Raleigh

Williams DDS preventive dental services include periodic oral examinations, preventive and non-surgical periodontal treatment, tooth sealants and fluoride treatment.

Periodic Exams

Periodic exams are performed regularly on patients to determine if they have had a change in dental health since their last evaluation. These exams include checks for tooth decay, gum health and oral cancer screenings.

Preventive & Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal disease can have systemic effects on the body. As a first line of defense, we use preventive and non-surgical treatments to eliminate gum infections and plaque buildup.

Sealants

Sealants protect the grooved and pitted surface of teeth, especially the chewing surfaces on back teeth. Food and bacteria build up in these crevices, making the teeth in danger of eventual tooth decay. Sealants “seal out” the food and plaque, thus reducing the risk of long-term tooth decay.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatments help prevent tooth decay by making the tooth more resistant to acidic attacks from plaque, bacteria and sugar.
