What Is Preventive Dentistry and Why Is It So Important?
Preventive dentistry is the number one way to make sure that any mouth-related problems, including lesions, growths, or cells that could be an indication of oral cancer, are detected before they worsen. Each preventive dentistry appointment with Shawnee Dental will include a thorough checkup and cleaning, as well as discussion about any concerns you might have. You will love the compassionate, professional care you get from our dental team, as well as the comfortable surroundings—complete with televisions on the ceiling to help make the time pass even faster!

Make Sure Oral Cancer Does Not Go Undetected
Oral cancer is a problem facing many Americans.
Each time you come to Shawnee Dental for preventive dentistry treatments, we will perform a noninvasive oral pathology exam. This exam helps us determine if there are any spots or areas that could be cancerous or pre-cancerous. Although we cannot diagnosis cancer, we are glad to be your partner in early detection.
