Preventative Dentistry

Akron Preventative and Restoration Dentistry

The mission of Winning Smile Dentistry is to aid our patients with prevention. Our dentist, Dr. Wolf, can help you prevent decay and gum disease.

Did you know that with good oral health you are also preventing heart disease, coronary artery disease and a host of inflammatory diseases? Your dental health is a window to your systemic health, and many diseases first appear in the mouth before they are diagnosed.

Flossing your Teeth

Flossing isn't just a way to dislodge food wedged between your teeth. Flossing reduces cavities, gum disease and bad breath. Regular Flossing removes plaque, a bacterial film, which forms along the gum line. 5 easy Steps for Flossing.

Dental Sealants

A sealant is a thin resin that is bonded into the pits and fissures to prevent decay. Pits and fissures are thinner than any toothbrush bristle and cannot be thoroughly cleaned. The only way to prevent decay of the pit and fissure areas is with dental sealants.

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer screening is done at every exam. If a suspicious area is detected a non invasive Oral CDX brush test is done. Winning Smile Dentistry works very hard to keep you healthy with the most effective and least invasive procedures possible.

LATEX FREE

Latex free is one more way Winning Smile Dentistry aids with prevention. Many adults and children suffer from latex allergies - Because we understand this, our office has always been latex free, so you can be sure there are no lingering latex allergens. Winning Smile Dentistry is committed to prevention.

DIAGNOdent

We use the DIAGNOdent caries detection laser to catch decay early. Detecting decay early on keeps fillings small. Small filings preserve as much tooth structure as possible, and help to preserve the life of the tooth.
