GENERAL DENTISTRY & PREVENTIVE CARE

Good oral hygiene habits like daily brushing and flossing can ensure a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. X-rays can detect decay in the teeth or gums. It’s best addressed as soon as it’s found, with fillings or treatment, before decay can develop into something worse.

WHY JACKSONVILLE FAMILY DENTISTRY?

Dr. Fancher and her team believe that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of dental treatment. They educate each patient about spots they might be missing during brushing. As a family dentistry practice, they take extra time and care with younger patients, using a mirror to show them proper form and technique. They answer any questions and give patients a practical “why” answer for the importance of prevention.
