Preventive Dentistry Services for the Family in Louisville, Kentucky

Preventive Dental Services

At Smile Academy of Kentucky, we offer comprehensive preventive dental services at our convenient location in Louisville, Kentucky.

• Professional Dental Cleanings. Enjoy the deep-clean feel of professionally-cleaned teeth. Using our safe, state-of-the-art technology, we gently care for your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that has built up, even in the hardest-to-reach areas. 
• Dental Examinations. A complete oral examination is an important aspect of preventive dentistry. One of our highly-qualified dentists will carefully examine your mouth, looking for decay, infections, gum disease, and other dental problems.
• Oral Cancer Screenings. An oral cancer screening is an easy way to keep oral cancer at bay. Spotting it early ensures you get treatment as soon as possible.
• Fluoride Treatments. Keep your teeth healthy and strong with fluoride treatments. This easy-to-apply treatment helps prevent tooth decay.
• Dental Sealants. Dental sealants are coatings that protect teeth from decay. The large molars in the back of your mouth often have deep grooves in them, making them a trap for food and plaque. Dental sealants keep those hard-to-brush teeth safe from cavities.
• Periodontal Therapy. If you have gum disease, periodontal therapy deep-cleans your teeth and gum line to help your gums heal. 

What Happens at a Dental Checkup?

When you come to Smile Academy of Kentucky on Dixie, you’ll be welcomed by our friendly staff and made to feel comfortable in our relaxing waiting room. When it is time for your appointment, the hygienist will gently clean your teeth and check for any signs of gum disease. The dentist will come in during the examination and check your teeth for cavities, broken teeth, and broken fillings. We will also perform an oral cancer screening.

An important part of our dental examinations includes educating each patient on proper preventive oral care at home, so you can continue to prevent dental problems every day.

• Brush your teeth twice a day.
