The American Dental Association recommends twice-yearly dental visits for exams and cleanings to maintain optimal oral health, yet 42.4% of Kentucky adults did not visit a dentist in the past year (UK 2023 Dental Workforce Report). Heritage Dental Center provides high-quality cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, preventing dental issues and promoting a healthier, brighter smile.
Heritage Dental Center offers fluoride treatment to prevent tooth decay. According to the ADA, fluoride intake is often recommended for infants and children between 6 months and 16 years. During this time, primary and permanent teeth are developing. Fluoride helps make teeth more resistant to decay-causing plaque and sugars, accelerates remineralization and disrupts acid erosion.
A sports mouthguard is essential for protecting your teeth, especially in contact sports like football and hockey. Athletes who don't wear a mouthguard are 60 times more likely to damage their teeth (American Family Physician). Mouthguards prevent thousands of injuries each year. Even in non-contact sports like basketball, mouthguards protect against injuries from the ball, other players, the ground or the hoop. We'll custom-fit your mouthguard to keep you safe during play.
Oral cancer causes about 13,150 deaths in the U.S. each year (American Cancer Society 2026). We recommend annual screenings to check for abnormalities like sores, lumps or unexplained pain. Early detection improves treatment success. If you've noticed any concerning symptoms, contact us to set up an appointment.
Periodontics focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum disease, the leading cause of tooth loss. About 46% of U.S. adults 30 and older, have periodontitis (CDC, Journal of Periodontology). We offer gentle evaluations, providing personalized treatment recommendations if gum disease is detected. Early intervention protects your smile and prevents further damage from periodontal disease.
