At Flossy Dentistry & Hygiene Clinic, we emphasize proactive care and preventive dentistry to promote lifelong oral health for our patients. When it comes to preventive dentistry, our goal is to help patients maintain healthy teeth and gums through consistent, personalized care and early detection of potential concerns.
We take a thorough, patient-focused approach that emphasizes education, comfort, and long-term oral health, supporting your smile at every stage of life. Our preventive dentistry services in Toronto include:
Routine Exams & Professional Cleanings
Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining oral health and preventing common concerns such as tooth decay and gum disease.
During your visit, our team will carefully assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. Professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be addressed through at-home brushing and flossing alone.
We also view these appointments as an opportunity to review your oral hygiene routine and provide personalized recommendations tailored to your needs.
Fluoride & Varnish Treatments
Fluoride treatments may be recommended to help strengthen enamel and support cavity prevention, particularly for patients at higher risk of tooth decay. Fluoride varnish is a quick, non-invasive application that helps protect teeth and support long-term oral health as part of a preventive care plan.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where decay is most likely to develop.
They act as a barrier to help protect enamel from food particles and bacteria, and are often recommended for children and teens, as well as select adult patients based on individual risk factors.
Teeth Desensitizing Treatments
If you experience tooth sensitivity, desensitizing treatments may help reduce discomfort caused by hot, cold, sweet, or acidic triggers. Our team will assess the underlying cause of sensitivity and recommend appropriate treatment options to help improve daily comfort.
Oral Cancer Screening
As part of your preventive dental exam, we perform oral cancer screenings to evaluate the soft tissues of the mouth, tongue, and throat. Early detection is an important part of preventive care, and these screenings are a standard component of comprehensive dental evaluations.
Athletic Mouthguards
Custom athletic mouthguards are designed to help protect teeth and soft tissues during sports and physical activity. Unlike over-the-counter options, professionally fitted mouthguards are custom-crafted for improved comfort and protection based on your bite and activity needs.
Night Guards for Bruxism
Bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching, can contribute to tooth wear, jaw discomfort, and other oral health concerns over time. Custom night guards are designed to help protect your teeth while you sleep and reduce strain on the jaw muscles.
Our team will assess your symptoms and recommend whether a night guard may be appropriate as part of your care plan.
TMJ / TMD Management
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) concerns can present as jaw tension, discomfort, clicking, or difficulty with jaw movement.
At Flossy Dentistry & Hygiene Clinic, we take a conservative, patient-centered approach to TMJ/TMD management, focusing on symptom relief strategies and individualized care planning. Treatment options may include oral appliances, lifestyle recommendations, and other supportive therapies based on your specific needs.
