Columbia, SC Dental Prevention Care

Excellent oral hygiene is the foundation of a healthy, beautiful smile. At WildeWood Aesthetic Dentistry, we understand the value of protecting your health and beauty. Nowhere is this more evident than in our oral hygiene program.

Many people consider a hygiene visit nothing more than a simple cleaning, but the preventative dental treatment provided by Dr. Justin Griffin becomes the foundation for the successful maintenance of your future oral health.

Dr. Griffin strongly recommends that you visit your dentist for a hygiene checkup every three months — not six. Why? At WildeWood Aesthetic Dentistry, your Columbia, SC dental hygiene visit is so much more than just a cleaning. It’s a thorough examination of your oral health at the same affordable rate.

Your at-home care techniques are also very important. We want to educate you about proper daily brushing and flossing routines so that we can prevent any issue in your mouth from deteriorating into a more significant, costly situation.

Superb personal hygiene begins with a proactive, preventative approach. We encourage you to partner with WildeWood Aesthetic Dentistry to maintain your healthy smile.

A Comprehensive, Supportive Columbia, SC Dental Hygiene Program

The key to an effective hygiene visit is that we avoid the presumption that your daily hygiene is poor or ineffective. We treat our patients with respect, never harshly scolding you, but giving you tools and techniques that work.

Plaque and bacteria build up fast, especially in mouths that produce excessive saliva. Depending on your oral health, we may take x-rays to evaluate your bone structure, conduct a gum analysis, perform an oral cancer screening and give you a complete tour of your own mouth using our intra-oral camera.

Then we give you a therapeutic teeth cleaning and gum massage using our advanced ultrasonic scaler. Our Columbia, SC dental care removes any stains from your teeth with ProphyJet® — a special device that makes your mouth feel especially clean and refreshed. Finally, we use a technology called DIAGNOdent® to measure the density of your teeth and detect cavities before they have a chance to cause any major issues.

Healthy gums lead to healthy teeth. Healthy teeth lead to a beautiful smile. Your beautiful smile deserves special treatment: contact Dr. Justin Griffin and keep it that way.
