Preventive Dentistry

Prevention is the foundation of good dental health. At Frank Hsu, D.D.S., we emphasise regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and early detection to help you maintain a healthy smile for life.

Our Preventive Services

Regular Cleanings & Exams

Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can't reach. During your exam, Dr. Hsu will check for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other concerns.

Digital X-Rays

State-of-the-art digital radiography allows us to detect problems invisible to the naked eye — cavities between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth, and more — all with significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays.

Fluoride Treatments

Professional fluoride application strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities, especially important for patients at higher risk of tooth decay.

Oral Cancer Screening

Early detection saves lives. We perform thorough oral cancer screenings as part of every routine exam.

Sealants

Thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities in the deep grooves where bacteria can hide.

How Often Should I Visit?

We recommend dental check-ups and cleanings every six months. Patients with gum disease or other risk factors may benefit from more frequent visits.
