How We Handle Preventative Dentistry in Plano
Our process is designed to be thorough, comfortable, and educational.
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment & Oral Cancer Screening
We start with a full evaluation using digital X-rays (up to 90% less radiation than traditional film) and intraoral cameras that let you see exactly what we see. We’re assessing your gum health, checking for early signs of periodontal disease, and screening for oral cancer using advanced visual aids.
Step 2: Biofilm Disruption & Remineralization
We disrupt pathogenic bacteria colonies before they can harden into calculus or cause periodontal inflammation. Using GBT principles, we remove plaque gently and effectively. Moreover, we utilize Nano-Hydroxyapatite and Fluoride treatments to physically repair early-stage enamel demineralization. Think of it as “patching” microscopic holes in your enamel before they become cavities.
Step 3: Personalized Home Care Plan & Follow-Up
We create a personalized plan based on your risk factors, whether that’s managing dry mouth, addressing grinding, or navigating orthodontic appliances. And if you’re someone who struggles with routine, we’ll work with you.

The Cardiovascular Connection
Research published in the Journal of Periodontology shows that patients with periodontal disease are twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery disease. The bacteria from gum infections can enter your bloodstream and contribute to arterial plaque buildup.
At Vitality Dental, we view your cleaning as a cardiovascular health intervention—not just a cosmetic procedure.
Early Detection Protocols
Every preventative visit includes:
- Oral Cancer Screening using VELscope or similar technology to detect soft-tissue anomalies early
- Periodontal Probing to measure gum pocket depths and catch gum disease in its earliest, most reversible stage
- Saliva pH Testing to assess your cavity risk and customize your remineralization protocol

Frequently Asked Questions about Preventative Dentistry in Plano
How often should I visit the dentist for preventive care?
Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months. However, if you have active gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or systemic health conditions (diabetes, heart disease), we may recommend three- or four-month intervals to stay ahead of inflammation.
Do you accept my dental insurance in Plano?
We likely do! We accept most major PPO insurances and offer complimentary benefits checks. No insurance? No problem. We offer an in-house membership plan to keep preventative care affordable—no surprises, no hidden fees.
I have sensitive teeth. Can I still get a cleaning?
Yes! In fact, skipping cleanings makes sensitivity worse by allowing gum recession to progress. Tell us beforehand, and we’ll use desensitizing paste, warm water, and gentle GBT techniques to ensure you stay comfortable. Many of our Plano patients dealing with bruxism say our cleanings are the first they’ve ever enjoyed.
Does preventive dentistry help with bad breath?
Yes, preventive dentistry can help address the causes of bad breath. Regular dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing odor-causing bacteria.
