Prevent
Preventive Care
The everyday work of stopping cavities and dental injuries before they start: regular exams and cleanings, fluoride, sealants, and mouth guards.
In Dr. Jenn's approach
Keeping small problems small
Prevention is the center of how Dr. Jenn practices. Healthy habits started early keep small problems small, and every cavity prevented is an appointment, a car journey, and a tray of single-use materials a child never needs.
