Preventive Care for Long-Lasting Oral Health

You’ve probably heard the old saying that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” The same can be said for the health and integrity of your smile. At Murfreesboro Family Dentistry, we’ll give you the preventive tools to use to limit the extent of dental treatment that you need in the future.

Schedule Your Checkup Every Six Months

Most of our healthy patients benefit from a preventive cleaning and exam every six months. During this appointment, we will gently clean plaque, stain, and tartar away from your teeth and screen for signs of gum disease or tooth decay.

After your cleaning, we may recommend a professional fluoride treatment to combat enamel demineralization and limit your risk of tooth decay. Fluoride is also very effective in managing sensitivity.

Diagnostic Digital X-rays

Routine digital x-rays allow Dr. Jackson to assess areas of your teeth and jaws that are not visible during a clinical exam.

Some of the reasons why we recommend low-radiation radiographs include screening for:

  • Tooth decay
  • Tooth development
  • Abscesses
  • Failing restoration
  • Bone loss
  • Tumors or cysts
  • Impacted teeth

Oral Cancer Screenings Save Lives

Even if you don’t think you’re at risk for oral cancer, Dr. Jackson will screen for pathological and precancerous tissues during your exam. Most types of oral cancers (including those within the lymph nodes of the head and neck) are best addressed as quickly as possible. Early diagnosis is key. Risk factors can include everything from sun exposure to specific types of viruses.
If it’s been six months or longer since your last dental checkup, call Murfreesboro Family Dentistry today to schedule your first visit with Dr. Jackson. New patients are always welcome!

In February of 2024 Change Healthcare (CHC), experienced a criminal cyberattack. While Murfreesboro Family Dentistry systems were not compromised, CHC has indicated that patient data has been exfiltrated from its environment. Based on CHC’s analysis to date, a small percentage of a third party that Murfreesboro Family Dentistry uses called Henry Schein One customer’s patient data was affected (at this time, less than 1%), but because CHC is not able to tie affected individuals to practices CHC is providing this notice to all Henry Schein One practice management customers that utilized claims or eligibility services through CHC. If you notice any changes with your personal information, would like additional information regarding the cyberattack or the complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services, you can refer them to the CHC substitute notice at the link here.
