Keep Teeth Cavity-Free With Tooth Decay Prevention in Plano

Half of all children in the U.S. have tooth decay, while nearly 95 percent of adults have decay in their permanent teeth – 30 percent of which is left untreated. While tooth decay is a widespread problem, it’s also preventable. Don’t become an unfortunate statistic. Visit 1st In Smiles for tooth decay prevention in Plano.

We offer several ways for you to keep your teeth cavity-free, including:

  • Regular dental cleanings
  • Early detection
  • Fluoride treatments
  • Dental sealants
  • Nutritional and home oral hygiene recommendations

Call us today at 972-905-9266 for preventive dental services. We offer Saturday hours, early morning hours, and evening hours for your scheduling convenience.

Choose From Several Kinds of Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a natural mineral that has been proven to strengthen your enamel and prevent tooth decay. We offer several ways to receive it, one of which will be right for you:

  • In-Office Foam Fluoride Treatments – These treatments are a powerful way to help prevent cavities in just minutes.
  • Prescription-Strength Take-Home Care – If we see that you’re prone to tooth decay, we can prescribe an extra-strength fluoride treatment for you to use at home.
  • In-Office Fluoride Varnish – This is another fast and effective concentrated fluoride treatment that we apply directly onto your teeth.

We may also recommend dental sealants – thin, clear coatings of plastic that we paint onto your teeth. They are especially useful for your back teeth, which have grooves and indentations that make them more susceptible to bacteria buildup. These plastic barriers are common cavity-prevention treatments for children, but they can also help adults with cavity-prone teeth.

We make it as easy as possible to get this preventive dental care by offering early morning appointments, evening appointments, and even Saturday hours.

Prevent Cavities With Regular Dental Exams

You might think that brushing and flossing your teeth every day is all that it takes to prevent cavities. Yet most people don’t see or feel anything in the early stages of tooth decay, so they don’t even realize that their teeth are being attacked! That’s why it’s so important not to skip regular dental checkups at our office, where we’ll examine your mouth for signs of decay.

Dr. Rick Barfield and our team will also teach you helpful ways to prevent tooth decay at home, such as drinking fluoridated water, avoiding sugary foods and drinks, and brushing properly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.

For tooth decay prevention in Plano, call us today at 972-905-9266.

Eddie Sinnott

When I first went to Dr. Barfield I hadn’t been to the dentist in a long time because I felt like I had been to the dentist enough for a lifetime and so I had to get the deep cleaning which made me a little nervous. It actually was pretty harmless. I had to go twice and they prepped me for it and I mean, to me it was way less than I expected it to be. And after that I’ve gone back for just cleanings and they are a piece of cake. With Dr. Barfield, you come, you go and you wonder if you actually went, it’s that kind of painless and that’s hard to say about a dentist. It’s not the easiest thing for a lot of people to do but if you have fear of dentists, he is a great guy to go to because everyone is so friendly and nice that you just kind of forget that you are there. I think he likes to know his patients and I know that he knows me, my family, and a lot about what I do and it’s just, to me, you can’t miss.
