Preventive Family Dentistry – Kansas City, MO

Family Dentistry for You and Yours

As your first line of defense against dental problems, a family dentist makes prevention a priority, and Dr. Byars is no exception. With this in mind, he follows the recommendation of the American Dental Association and suggests that you and your family get at least two checkups per year. At these regular checkups, we clean your teeth and remove plaque build-up, monitor for tooth decay, fill cavities, and make sure your gums are healthy.

At some visits, Dr. Byars may want to take X-rays in order to find spots of decay that are otherwise invisible. Of course, any decay will be removed and the cavity filled in order to prevent a serious dental problem that may require a more complex and expensive treatment in the future. If necessary, we also provide fluoride treatments and dental sealants. These are particularly important for young children whose personal oral hygiene routine may be somewhat incomplete.
