The overwhelming majority of dental or periodontal disease can be prevented, but only when consistently practiced methods are performed by the patient. Examples of proper dental hygiene include brushing twice a day, flossing, eating a balanced diet, avoiding excessive amounts of soda, candy and sugar,  and most importantly-seeing your dentist at least twice a year for cleaning and exam.

Failure to practice preventive dentistry will result in increased bacteria and plaque buildup; which could lead to:

• Tooth Decay
• Periodontal or Gum Disease
• Loose Teeth
• Receding gums
• Bad Breath

Commitment to practicing good dental health habits can help you retain a great smile and save you lots of money in the long run, but it's never too late to start. Commit yourself to improving your smile today.

If you haven't been to the dentist in a while, or if you are due for a dental exam, contact our office @ 813-689-4226 or schedule an appointment online.

Dr. Saylor and his caring, professional staff will take the time to consult with you about your specific dental needs, perform a comprehensive dental exam, thorough but gental cleaning and tooth polishing, and go over any other areas of dental concern.

Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when caught early. That's why a simple exam has been developed using technology that has been proven successful in identifying other types of precancerous abnormalities.

We understand that you may be anxious about visiting the dentist due to a previously unpleasant dental occurence in your past, a fear of needles (check out our pain-free dental solution), or some other reason.  Perhaps you have a complex restoration treatment scheduled and simply want to be completely relaxed during that time.
