Preventive Care

To prevent gum disease and ensure a clean, healthy mouth, you must take proper care of your teeth!

Routine Checkup

Visiting the dentist on a regular basis will keep your teeth and gums healthy. The American Dental Association recommends that you visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings. We understand that you have a busy schedule, so simply fill out the form to the left to request an appointment!

Dental Cleaning

It is necessary to get your mouth professionally cleaned at least every 6 months. You won't be able to properly clean your mouth on your own, and Dr. Kaminar will make sure that you have a pleasant and productive visit.

Oral Cancer Screening

TK Dental will inspect your mouth for oral cancer closely both initially and with each maintenance visit. Our staff is readily able to note such important lesions. While there are a variety of screening devices that assist doctors in detecting oral cancer, the only definitive method for determining this is through biopsy and microscopic evaluation of the cells in the removed sample. Should we see an area of question, we will let you know how to proceed.

Scaling and Root Planing

Deep-cleaning, nonsurgical procedure where plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line are scraped away (scaling) and rough spots on the tooth root are made smooth (planing). Smoothing the rough spots removes bacteria and provides a clean surface for the gums to reattach to the teeth.
