Why Preventive Care Matters

Preventive dentistry is the foundation of long-term oral health. By visiting your dentist regularly, you can identify potential issues before they become more serious, helping you avoid discomfort, extensive treatment, and unexpected dental emergencies.

Routine preventive care allows us to monitor changes in your oral health, remove plaque and tartar buildup, and provide personalized recommendations to keep your smile healthy for years to come. 

Our Preventive Dental Services

Comprehensive Dental Exams

Regular dental exams allow Dr. Jason Eaglin to evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. Early diagnosis makes treatment simpler and more predictable.

Professional Dental Cleanings

Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleanings help maintain healthy teeth and gums while reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Deep Cleanings (Scaling & Root Planing)

When signs of gum disease are present, a deep cleaning removes plaque and bacteria below the gumline to help restore gum health and prevent further progression.

Oral Cancer Screenings

As part of your routine examination, we evaluate the soft tissues of your mouth for abnormalities. Early detection plays an important role in successful treatment.

Digital X-Rays & Diagnostic Imaging

Advanced digital imaging allows us to detect concerns that may not be visible during a visual examination, helping us diagnose problems earlier and plan treatment more accurately.

Personalized Home Care Guidance

Every smile is different. We provide individualized recommendations for brushing, flossing, oral hygiene products, and lifestyle habits to help you maintain excellent oral health between visits.

Good oral hygiene between visits plays an important role in protecting your smile.

We recommend:

  • Flossing daily
  • Eating a balanced diet

  • Replacing your toothbrush every three to four months
  • Visiting Midtown Dental for routine checkups and cleanings

Small daily habits can make a significant difference in your long-term oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have a dental exam and cleaning?
Most patients benefit from routine exams and professional cleanings every six months. Depending on your oral health, Dr. Eaglin may recommend more frequent visits to help maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Why are professional cleanings important if I brush and floss every day?
Brushing and flossing are essential, but they can’t remove hardened tartar. Professional cleanings eliminate plaque and tartar buildup in areas that are difficult to reach at home, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.
What happens during a routine dental exam?
Your exam includes a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and oral tissues. If needed, digital X-rays may be taken to identify concerns that aren’t visible during the clinical examination.
What is the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning focuses on removing plaque and tartar above the gumline as part of routine preventive care. A deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is recommended when gum disease is present and involves cleaning below the gumline to remove bacteria and promote healthier gums.
Are oral cancer screenings included in my exam?
Yes. Oral cancer screenings are performed as part of your comprehensive dental examination to evaluate the soft tissues of your mouth for any abnormalities. Early detection is an important part of maintaining your overall health.
Can preventive care help me avoid major dental treatment?
In many cases, yes. Routine preventive care helps identify concerns early, often allowing them to be treated before they require more extensive procedures. Regular checkups are one of the best ways to protect your long-term oral health.
At what age should children begin visiting the dentist?
The American Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Early visits help establish healthy habits and allow us to monitor your child’s oral development.

Routine preventive care is one of the best investments you can make in your oral health. Whether it’s time for your six-month checkup or you’re looking for a new dental home, Midtown Dental is here to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Shirl W.

I’ve been a patient of Eaglin dental from very early on in Fayetteville. I have been a long satisfied patient!!! Recently returned to Georgia and picked up right where I left off…the kind and thorough staff encounters to the very knowledgeable hygienist and Dr. Eaglin himself. Directives for my patient plan are always clear. Happy to be a returning patient!

Nicole T.

I had an excellent experience with this dental office. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. I had some issues with a few of my crowns falling out repeatedly, but they were so helpful throughout the entire process of getting everything fixed. I truly appreciate their dedication to ensuring I was well taken care of. I would highly recommend this office.

Jane W.

Dr. Eaglin has been caring for my Sister’s, Ruth, teeth since 2008. He’s a very gentle and caring doctor and he has the best staff. Sometimes people are treated differently with a disability, but Dr. Eaglin or his staff and I thank you for that. We love you!!!

Michele M.

I highly recommend this dentist This was my first time here and there are no complaints. Staff is polite and informative the dentist took time to explain and educate and has a wonderful light and efficient touch. I also feel like the staff and dentist gave great recommendations in a cost-effective way which was huge for me. The location and office is great, clean and pleasant. The staff is pleasant overall a great experience. It may take time to get through to schedule ( it is summer and holidays) but aside from that 10/10!

Ebonie B.

If you could give Eaglin Dental 10 stars I would. My experience was so good, I couldn’t have been blessed to go to any other dental clinic. From the front office staff to the doctor and hygienist I definitely recommend family and friends here. They all were professional, welcoming and caring. The dental hygienist was my favorite she educated me in so many ways and was very professional and stern. Thank you for your services Eaglin Dental!

Eric C.
