Prevention is the Key<\/h2>\n

Dentistry is actually set up to prevent dental disease. That\u2019s why dental insurance covers dental checkups and why Dr. Vanderbrook encourages all of his patients to schedule two each year. At these regularly scheduled visits, one of our dental hygienists will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing surface stains as well as plaque and bits of tartar. In addition, we\u2019ll closely examine your teeth and gums in order to find the early signs of trouble. The sooner we find a problem, the more easily and economically we can treat.<\/p>\n

Children are Welcome, Too<\/h2>\n

Dr. Vanderbrook loves welcoming children in the office. To get your children accustomed to our office, it is a good idea to bring children with you to your appointments or you can schedule a happy visit for your toddler<\/a>. We\u2019ll show them around the office and give them a \u201cride\u201d in the dentist\u2019s chair. At your children\u2019s first real visit, we\u2019ll likely just count their teeth and check to make sure their smiles are developing appropriately. As they mature, we\u2019ll begin to clean their teeth. We always discuss how you and your child can make brushing and flossing more effective and fun. To help battle tooth decay, we also offer fluoride treatments that strengthen tooth enamel and dental sealants that are a barrier between molars and decay-causing bacteria.<\/p>\n
