What is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry refers to caring for your teeth and gums to keep them healthy and avoid dental issues before they arise. By focusing on preventive treatment, we aim to reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Regular visits to our dental office, good oral hygiene at home, and a balanced diet are crucial in keeping your smile bright and healthy.

Why is Preventive Dental Care Important?

Preventive dental care is vital for several reasons:

Early Detection of Issues: Regular check-ups allow us to identify potential problems before they become severe. Conditions like tooth decay and gum disease often start small but can lead to significant complications if left untreated.
Cost-Effective: Investing in preventive treatments, such as professional cleanings and exams, can save you money in the long run. Treating dental issues early often requires less extensive (and less expensive) treatments than addressing advanced problems.
Improved Overall Health: Oral health is closely linked to overall health. By preventing oral health issues, you can reduce the risk of systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections.

Our Preventive Dentistry Services

At Loudoun Valley Dental, we offer a variety of preventive dental care services designed to maintain your oral health and prevent future issues:

Comprehensive Dental Exams

Regular dental exams are key to preventive care. During your visit, our skilled dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth. We’ll check for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns. We’ll also review your dental history and discuss any changes in your health that may impact your oral care.

Professional Cleanings

Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can accumulate on your teeth. That’s why professional cleanings are essential. Our hygienists will gently remove plaque buildup, polish your teeth, and provide guidance on maintaining proper oral hygiene habits at home.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a preventive treatment that can significantly reduce the risk of cavities, especially in children. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to keep food particles and bacteria from getting trapped in the grooves of the teeth.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent decay. Our fluoride treatments can be beneficial, especially for children or individuals at higher risk for cavities. These treatments can provide added protection to your teeth between dental visits.

Mouthguards for Sports

If you or your child participates in sports, a custom-made mouthguard protects your smile. Custom mouthguards can offer you peace of mind while you enjoy your favorite activities.

Education on Oral Hygiene

Informed patients are empowered patients. During your visits, we’ll discuss proper at-home oral care routines. This includes effective brushing and flossing techniques and tips for maintaining a tooth-healthy diet.

Testimonials

Discover Why Our Patients Love Us

My children and I had a great experience. The office staff are friendly and they really keep things flowing without making you feel rushed. My hygienist, Corina, was excellent, extremely thorough and communicative. Dr. Barekzi really took time to talk with me about our teeth, asked great questions and gave sound, practical advice.

To the extent possible, I enjoyed my trip to Loudoun Valley Dental. From the reception desk to the Hygienist, to Dr. Bareksi, everyone was professional, caring, and friendly.

Karina is the best person alive. Not only was she extremely gentle, but super kind and compassionate. She throughly explained how I personally can continue to keep my mouth the healthiest it can be. Def recommend asking for KARINA when making your appointment✨ The girlies at the front desk are always lovely as well!

Dr’s Barekzi & Sharp are extremely gentle and considerate during check ups and procedures. All staff, front desk, assistants and especially dental hygienists are fun and easy to get along with. Great practice !

I have had nothing but great experiences at Loudoun Valley Dental. Cindy at the front desk has always been so extremely responsive to me and squeezed me in on more than one occasion when I really needed to see the doctor and both dentists are great. It is a perfect example of a small town medical office where the patient is never just a number.

My second visit was to get a crown on a tooth with a slight crack. This visit was also great despite it being for something more involved than just a cleaning. Everyone in the office was helpful and friendly which includes the front office, the couple dental techs I've seen so far, and both dentists. I'm impressed by the pains they take to explain everything and by everyone's skill. I'm happy to have a dental office like this so close to home.

The office staff was exceptional when calling for an appointment and in person. The Dentist and hygienist are kind, educated, listened, explained well and gentle. I would highly recommend this practice.

When I found myself looking for a dentist, I was determined to stay local. There are several dentists' offices in Purcellville/Round Hill, so I asked around. My neighbor recommended Loudon Valley Dental. I am so glad I went there! They are friendly and helpful. I'm a bit dental-phobic, and they have accommodated me wonderfully. Thank you!
