Preventive Dentistry FAQ
At Monfredi Family Dental, preventive dentistry is the heart of our care. Our goal is to keep your teeth and gums healthy, minimizing the need for more extensive (and costly) treatments. Below are common questions our patients ask about preventive care — and how we can help you protect your smile.
We recommend professional dental cleanings every six months. Even with ideal brushing and flossing, bacteria can harden into tartar — something only our hygienists can safely remove.
Not always, but regular dental X-rays are invaluable. We use digital X-rays to catch hidden issues early. In some cases, we may also use a Panorex, which provides a broad panoramic view of your jaw, teeth, and bones. These tools help us monitor your oral health and intervene before problems worsen.
Yes, fluoride treatment is part of our preventive approach, and it's included with each cleaning in our Dental Membership Program. Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of decay, even for adult patients.
Absolutely. Regular cleanings, exams, and X-rays let us detect cavities, gum disease, or other issues early — when they're easier and less costly to treat. Preventive care is often the most cost-effective way to protect your long-term oral health.
Yes. Preventive care during pregnancy is very safe and vital. Your hormones may affect your gums, and regular exams help ensure both your oral health and your baby's health stay on track. We'll work with you to schedule and tailor your care as needed.
Dental sealants are a plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. These teeth have grooves and pits where food can hide. The sealant fills in those grooves, creating a barrier that protects against cavities — especially on hard-to-clean back teeth.
We recommend a dental mouthguard for anyone who plays contact sports, grinds their teeth at night, or otherwise risks tooth damage. A custom-fitted guard from our office offers better protection than over-the-counter versions and helps prevent chips, fractures, or wear.

Preventive dentistry isn't just about cleanings — it's about long-term care and avoiding bigger problems down the road. At Monfredi Family Dental, our team is committed to helping you maintain a strong, healthy smile through routine exams, tailored guidance, and gentle, thorough cleanings.

I highly recommend having your teeth whitening done at Monfredi Family Dental! If you have ever wondered about doing it, give it a try! I trusted them to do my first teeth whitening right before my wedding, and I was not disappointed! Amazing work! Dr. Monica and her team at Monfredi Family Dental are all so nice, caring, and attentive! I am so glad I switched from my past dentist! Never looking back!

Definitely recommend Monfredi Family Dentist. So worth traveling to from Zanesville,Ohio. Very polite friendly and caring. They make you feel very comfortable and relaxed. I am usually a nervous wreck going to the dentist. It makes a big difference when the Dr. and staff are so kind. Thank you Monfredi Family Dentist!
