At Jarvis, Nelson, & Pedey Family Dentistry, we provide a range of preventative dentistry services in Spokane, WA, including:

Importance of Preventative Dentistry
Preventative dentistry from your dentist in Spokane WA can help you maintain healthy teeth and gums. If you don’t maintain your dental health, you could face a number of problems, including periodontal disease, chronic bad breath (halitosis), and gingivitis. You may even experience self-consciousness about your personal appearance or smile. If the problem persists, you may eventually develop an infection and inflammation, which could lead to the loss of your permanent teeth.
When you see the dentist to get your teeth cleaned and examined, your dentist will help reduce bacteria in your mouth, fight inflammation in the gums, and help you catch problems in their early stages.
When to See the Dentist
At Jarvis, Nelson, & Pedey Family Dentistry, we recommend seeing the dentist twice yearly. You should also watch for symptoms of dental problems (pain and swelling), and visit the dentist as soon as you notice signs of a problem. Getting help from the dentist early is critical for avoiding dental infections and periodontal disease.
