Preventative Dental Care in North Charleston, SC

Routine exams, cleanings, and diagnostic tools to help you maintain a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Keep Your Smile Healthy with Preventative Dentistry

At Cross County Dentistry, we believe prevention is the best form of dental care. Our preventative services are designed to prevent oral health issues before they start—saving you time, discomfort, and expense down the road. Whether it’s your child’s first dental visit or your biannual checkup, our goal is to help your entire family maintain healthy teeth and gums for life.

What’s Included in Preventative Dental Care?

  • Professional Cleanings: Our hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar that can’t be reached with brushing alone.
  • Comprehensive Exams: Dr. DuRant performs a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw.
  • Digital X-Rays: We use low-radiation digital imaging to spot decay, infections, and bone loss early.
  • Intraoral Photographs: High-resolution photos help monitor problem areas and educate you on your oral health.
  • Dental Sealants: A protective coating applied to molars to prevent cavities—especially helpful for kids.
  • Fluoride Treatments: Strengthen enamel and prevent decay, especially in cavity-prone areas.

How Often Should You Visit?

We recommend hygiene appointments every six months for most patients. Regular cleanings and exams allow us to detect issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer early—when treatment is easiest and most effective.
