Family dentistry is the general practice of prevention and dental care. It includes teaching patients of all ages about flossing, brushing and other ways to care for their teeth. We schedule regular check-ups and cleanings and work with you to prevent cavities, tooth decay and periodontal disease. We offer a variety of services to protect your teeth, recommend dental products, provide emergency care and accept most insurance coverage.

At Scholz DDS, Family Dentistry involves three areas: good oral hygiene, the prevention of disease and the prevention of cavities.

Good Oral Hygiene requires learning the most effective ways to brush and floss your teeth, as well as discovering other dental products like mouth rinses, designed to keep your teeth clean, reduce plaque and freshen your breath. It also involves scheduling regular exams and cleanings.

The Prevention of Disease is a joint responsibility shared between you and your dental team. Working together, we can monitor the surfaces of teeth, changes in the gums and watch for any warning signs of periodontal disease.

The Prevention of Cavities is possible through early detection of tiny cracks or fissures in a tooth's surface and filling those tiny cracks. Cavities are also prevented through the application of fluoride, and sealants. Dr. Scholz can also rebuild broken, worn or chipped teeth, performing necessary root canals, and replacing missing teeth with restorations.
