Prioritize Preventive Dental Care

When you take care of your teeth, your teeth take care of you.

Invest in Your Oral Health

Daily brushing, flossing, and rinsing, plus good nutrition, can improve your dental experience and overall oral health. Lake Superior Dental’s team believes that preventive care is also essential to lifelong oral health. Routine hygiene visits, along with exams, X-rays, and fluoride treatments, help build a solid foundation. Our knowledgeable team will provide you with high-level care and personalized education.

Utilizing advanced techniques and modern technology, our highly skilled, licensed dental hygienists provide a thorough, non-judgemental and comfortable cleaning experience for you and your family. We use the latest digital radiography to routinely monitor the health of your enamel, dentin, bone levels, and surrounding anatomic features. You will receive a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health to determine your needs and create a treatment plan individualized for you. We prioritize personalized dental education throughout your visit, so you’ll leave with clean teeth as well as the knowledge and confidence you need for healthy, everyday dental habits.

At Lake Superior Dental, children’s preventive care is all about setting a foundation for lifelong healthy oral habits. Our licensed dental hygienists work closely with you, your child, and the dentist to keep your child’s teeth happy and healthy as they grow. Our young patients look forward to seeing our team for their bi-annual check-ups just as much as we look forward to seeing them!

We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit around their first birthday. Expect a short visit that aims to help your child become familiar with a dental environment and build a relationship with our friendly team.  

First Dentist Visit Tips:

  • Stop by for a quick “preview” of the office so they’ll know what to expect before the first official visit.
  • Read books or watch educational shows about going to the dentist.
  • Talk about what the dentist will do and why.
  • Tell stories about your own positive dental experiences as a child or adult.

As your child grows, we will move into routine exams and cleanings to provide advice and guidance about home dental care. Our family-friendly approach has led to thousands of incredible childhood dental experiences. We work with timid, nervous, and scared kids at their own pace, helping them transform into confident patients who feel proud to hop in the chair for their exams.

The Lake Superior Dental team is ready to provide excellent, compassionate dental care for your whole family. We excel in making dental visits educational, low-pressure, and fun for kids because we believe that positive dental experiences as children support healthy oral hygiene habits for life. And don’t forget the trip to the treasure chest after each visit!
