Preventative Dental Hygiene

Preventive Dental Hygiene

Regular dental hygiene visits at Vail Dentistry help you feel confident about your smile. Dr. Haerter’s patients get a thorough, gentle cleaning and evaluation of teeth and gums – and so much more!

Dr. Haerter has an impressive background of dental training, as do the dental hygienists. Each hygienist has at least a decade of experience, plus they have some of the most advanced dental technology (such as a soft-tissue laser to treat periodontal infection) at their fingertips.

We take a comprehensive stance on your oral and overall wellness. At each Vail Valley area dental hygiene visit in Edwards, CO, we evaluate or perform:

  • Oral cancer screening
  • Periodontal risk assessment
  • Your health history summary
  • Full dental charting
  • Full dental cleaning and polishing
  • Oral hygiene instruction
  • Oral product recommendations

If periodontal disease is evident, we can schedule you for virtually painless laser therapy to treat the infection. Dr. Haerter will develop an appropriate treatment plan and answer any dentistry questions you may have.

Our patients in the Vail Valley and Edwards, CO know dental hygiene at Vail Dentistry is as comfortable as possible. Our friendly hygienists are highly experienced and have advanced training. Plus, regular visits make optimum health easier to maintain! Call for your hygiene appointment today.
