Dental Prevention:

Your Best Defense

Keeping your teeth and gums healthy goes far beyond a beautiful smile; it's crucial to your oral health and overall wellness. At TLC Dentistry, we prioritize preventive care, where regular teeth cleanings and dental exams are a cornerstone of our approach.

An Ounce of Prevention: The Benefits of Early Detection

Preventive care is all about minimizing your risk for dental disease and catching and treating problems as soon as possible. Oral health also affects your overall health; numerous studies link periodontal (gum) disease to diabetes, heart and lung disease, dementia, and many other conditions. 

Comprehensive Dental Exams

A dental exam is a thorough evaluation of your oral health. The purpose is to identify potential issues before they become major problems. Early detection and treatment protect your oral health and save you time, money, and discomfort in the future.


During your exam, our dentists check your teeth, gums, soft tissues, and jaw for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. They use intraoral cameras to get a clear, detailed view of your mouth and share the images with you so you better understand your oral health needs. Digital x-rays are an essential part of prevention because we use them to detect issues that are not visible to the naked eye, such as cavities in or between teeth. 


If we spot a potential concern, our dentists will explain their findings and work with you to create a tailored treatment plan that suits your needs, preferences, and budget. We believe in a collaborative approach, ensuring you feel empowered and confident about your oral health decisions.

Oral Cancer Screenings

While oral cancer is extremely aggressive, survival rates are high if the disease is caught early enough. That is why every exam at TLC Dentistry includes an oral cancer screening. The process is simple, non-invasive, and nothing to worry about. We want to support your whole-body health, and spotting oral cancers early on is one way we help keep you safe.


Teeth Cleanings: Protection Against Decay and Gum Disease

At TLC Dentistry, our skilled dental hygienists perform thorough cleanings. The process involves removing plaque and tartar buildup that your daily brushing and flossing can't handle. They use special tools to scale off the tartar from around and beneath the gumline and then polish your teeth to leave them feeling smooth and shiny.


Gum Disease: The Silent Threat

Even with our best efforts, gum disease can develop and often does so without your knowledge. The symptoms may be so subtle that you don't recognize them, but your dental hygienist will and can provide prompt treatment.


Gum disease has two main categories: gingivitis (the early, reversible stage) and periodontitis (the more severe stage). Left untreated, it can damage the structures that support your teeth and even lead to tooth loss. 


If our hygienist identifies signs of gum disease, your treatment plan may include better oral hygiene, scaling and root planing ("deep cleaning"), or more advanced treatments in severe cases.

Your Oral Health Journey at TLC Dentistry

At TLC Dentistry, preventive dental care is a partnership. Regular dental exams and cleanings, combined with good at-home oral hygiene practices, can keep your teeth and gums healthy for life.

Moved out here and I was concerned about finding a new dentist, not until I met these two highly qualified dentists who made me feel right at home. Both Dr. Radzikowski & Dr. Yaldoo were super knowledgable and very friendly and welcoming. Their hygienist, Melinda, was super thorough and effective with my routine cleaning and X-rays, most importantly, they worked perfectly with my insurance!

Will definitely be a patient for LIFE!!

Dr. Rad is awesome and always takes all the time needed to answer all of my questions. She looks at dentistry with an integrative eye, which is very important to me. I just learned about their teeth whitening program and even saw some before and after pics of current patients. That is next in my list! I definitely recommend TLC dentistry to anyone looking for a great atmosphere and a gentle but thorough cleaning by their dental hygienist Melinda and hello from the friendly office pooch Scooby.

Dr. Radzikowski is top notch! She is patient and totally concerned with your comfort as well as exploring every option to deal with your dental needs. I travel 35 minutes each way to get to her new location. I would travel even longer if I needed to! She is sooo worth it.

I had the best dental experience I’ve ever had (especially since I have “white coat syndrome”). Dr. Rad and Caroline were extra gentle as I received a new crown and filling. Excellent work at a fair price also!
