A healthy smile starts with prevention.
At Fisher & Zitterich Dentistry in Rockwall, TX, we believe the best dental care doesn’t just treat problems—it stops them before they start. That’s why we focus on preventative dentistry as the foundation of lifelong oral health. With regular checkups, cleanings, and modern diagnostic tools, we’re able to detect potential issues early and help you maintain a healthy, confident smile for years to come.
Whether you’re managing your child’s first dental visit or maintaining your own smile as an adult, our preventive care is tailored to your individual needs. Read on to explore how we keep Rockwall families smiling through every stage of life.
Comprehensive Preventative Dentistry Services
Checkups & Cleanings
Routine dental checkups and professional cleanings are essential to preventing tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. At Fisher & Zitterich Dentistry, we recommend biannual visits for most patients. During these visits, we thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing can’t reach. We also perform a comprehensive exam, checking for signs of cavities, gum issues, worn enamel, and more. These appointments help us catch small issues early—before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems.
Dental Sealants
Even with great brushing habits, the deep grooves in your molars can be tough to clean—especially for kids. That’s where sealants come in. Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to help prevent cavities. This painless, non-invasive treatment creates a barrier that shields the enamel from bacteria and food particles. Ideal for children and teens (and sometimes adults prone to decay), sealants are a smart and effective way to keep cavities at bay.
Gum Disease Laser Treatment
Gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) is a common yet serious condition that can lead to tooth loss and impact your overall health if left untreated. We use advanced laser therapy to treat gum disease in a gentle, minimally invasive way. This modern approach allows us to remove infected tissue and bacteria with precision, reduce inflammation, and promote healing—often without the need for stitches or lengthy recovery. Early intervention is key, and our laser technology makes treatment more comfortable and effective than ever before.
Custom Mouthguards
If you or your child participates in sports or grinds teeth at night, a custom-fitted mouthguard is essential for protection. Unlike store-bought versions, our professionally made mouthguards are designed to fit comfortably and securely, providing maximum protection against impact or wear. Athletic mouthguards help prevent dental injuries during contact sports, while nightguards protect against teeth grinding and jaw clenching, which can lead to headaches, enamel damage, and TMJ issues. We’ll help you choose the right solution to preserve your smile and comfort.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed early—but when caught in its earliest stages, it’s highly treatable. That’s why we include an oral cancer screening as part of your routine dental exam. Using visual and tactile techniques, we check your mouth, tongue, cheeks, throat, and gums for any unusual lesions, lumps, or discolorations. This screening takes only a few minutes but could save your life. We take your health seriously and are committed to providing comprehensive care at every visit.
