Cleaning | Comprehensive Exam | Flouride Treatment | Oral Cancer Screening
The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist every six months. Preventive dental care can help you reduce or avoid future costs by preventing and finding potential issues sooner. Because many diseases and conditions first show signs in your mouth, good dental health and a strong relationship with your dental office are important steps in your overall health
The doctor will review all findings and discuss possible treatment options to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
Fluoride can be an important part of preventing tooth decay in patients of all ages. During your visit, we will determine your risk for dental decay by discussing your diet, home care, previous decay history, illnesses and prescription medications. Fluoride treatment can be done in the office, or at home.
In the office: Treatment can be done during your regular exam using a tray with gel or foam fluoride. A more highly concentrated fluoride varnish that is brushed onto your teeth can also be used.
At home: Options for fluoride treatment include prescription toothpastes or a daily rinse. It is important to follow all recommendations made by your dentist and to also be aware of the fluoride levels in your water.
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Acierno Family Dentistry provides oral cancer screenings as part of your regular dental exam. There are two main risk factors for oral cancer. Smoking and tobacco use are long-term historic causes of oral cancer. In addition, the HPV-16 virus, a sexually-transmitted disease, is resulting in the fastest-growing segment of oral cancer patients being young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals.
When found early, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. Dentists can be a first line of defense in identifying abnormalities in the mouth, which could be a sign of oral cancer.

Had a great cleaning with Vicky on Friday and an awesome exam with Dr. Brandon! Always an amazing visit
Everyone was friendly, efficient and thorough. This is the most comprehensive dental exam I have ever had. A slew of dental xrays, a cancer screening and great advice. Thank you so much!
I lived nearby far too long before finally visiting this dental practice in 2020. They recently expanded their space, which means exam rooms are more spacious and more patients can be seen. Every dentist I've met has been friendly, professional, and skilled. Most important to the patient experience is the hygienist and I can't say enough good things about Vicky. I always enjoy seeing her and truly appreciate her technique, careful attention, and helpful advice.
This establishment is an operationally streamlined dental practice! From the moment you walk in the door you feel very welcomed and appreciated. You’re greeted with friendly smiles, good music and wonderful decorations. After checking in, I waited no more than 2-5 minutes before heading back to the exam/procedure room, but I would honestly wait any amount of time required to be seen at this office! Once you’re in the chair, the amazing staff and doctors ensure that you’re the most comfortable you can be! They let you know what’s going on every step of the way to ensure you’re prepared and aware of your procedure/operation. The feeling of importance each staff member provides completely exceeded my expectations. They cut no corners and provide the most accurate diagnosis . This place is professional, clean and should be the standard for all dental practices in the world!
Excellent overall experience! The check-in process was smooth and welcoming. Both the hygienist and the doctor were outstanding—very thorough in their examinations and treatments. They took the time to explain everything clearly along the way, which made me feel informed and comfortable throughout the visit
