Moreover, they also know a lot about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quietcornerdental.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">family dentistry<\/a>. As your family dentist, the McGinns will provide comprehensive dental care for you and for the people you care about the most.\r\n\r\nAlong with good oral hygiene at home, <strong>family dentistry<\/strong>, also called general dentistry, is the foundation of oral health. As family dentists, Drs. McGinn place a premium on prevention\u2014preventing tooth decay, gum disease and other conditions that are compromising to your oral health as well as your overall health.\r\n\r\n<strong>An Ounce of Prevention with Family Dentistry<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThus, with prevention in mind and in keeping with the recommendation of the American Dental Association, our dentists would like to see you and your family members at least twice every year for checkups. At these checkups, we will clean your teeth, remove any plaque build-up, monitor for decay and when needed, take x-rays to see decay in locations where dental caries can go unnoticed. Of course, if we find a cavity, then we will treat with a dental filling, thereby preventing a more involved procedure such as root canal therapy, a crown or dental implant, or even extraction.\r\n\r\nIn addition, Drs. McGinn may occasionally recommend fluoride treatments and dental sealants. These procedures are particularly important for children whose dental habits may be, well, less than perfect. Fluoride has been proven to strengthen teeth\u2019s enamel, your smile\u2019s first line of defense against decay. Dental sealants literally provide an added layer of protection. These modern wonders are a thin plastic coating that is applied to teeth\u2014most often those deeply grooved molars\u2014to create a barrier between acid-causing decay and your teeth.\r\n\r\n<strong>Call Our Office Today<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTo schedule an appointment with the <strong>family dentistry<\/strong> team of Dr. Carolyn McGinn and Dr. Walter McGinn in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quietcornerdental.com\/contact.html\">Putnam, CT<\/a>, call our office today.
