Routine preventive care, including both six-month teeth cleanings and regular at-home oral hygiene, is the best way to keep your mouth healthy and strong for life. With proper preventive care, you can completely eliminate the risk of common oral health issues like cavities and gum disease. Not only does this give you peace of mind, but it saves you time and money, too. Opting in for preventive care helps you maintain thriving oral health for a lifetime of smiles.

First-time patients will get digital x-rays as part of their appointment. Existing patients usually need x-rays every 1-2 years.

Got questions about preventive dental care? Houska Dental has the answers you need. Read on for more information.
To keep your smile strong and healthy, it's in your best interest to brush at least twice a day for two minutes each time. For proper brushing form, hold your brush at a 45-degree angle to your teeth and gums. Then use small, circular strokes to clean the front, back, and chewing surfaces of each tooth. Spending 30 seconds on each quadrant of your mouth will give all areas proper care and attention.
We also recommend that you replace your toothbrush or electric toothbrush head every 3-4 months. Be sure to opt for an ADA-approved toothpaste with fluoride for your cleanest smile yet!
Start by unrolling about 18-24 inches of floss. Once you wind most of the floss around the index or middle finger of one of your hands, wind the last few inches around the index or middle finger of your opposite hand.
Then, use your thumbs to pinch a 1-inch section of floss between your fingers. Using a rocking motion, move the floss between your teeth to gently remove debris along the gumline.
Next, gently remove the floss from between your teeth. Wind a new 1-inch section of floss between your fingers, move to the next tooth, and repeat.
Most of the time, preventive care is fully covered by dental insurance policies. These treatments include x-rays (usually once a year), prophylactic teeth cleanings every 6 months, and an annual or biannual dental exam performed by Dr. Randy.
While this is the case for most policies, all insurance providers are slightly different. Make sure you consult with your provider to understand your benefits, coverage, and out-of-pocket costs.
We offer a wide variety of preventive treatment options at Houska Dental. Dr. Randy practices conservative care and treats patients of all ages and walks of life. Our office is a judgment-free zone, so get the treatment you need today!
Routine teeth cleanings and oral exams are recommended every six months to keep your smile healthy and strong. Dr. Randy and our team will clean and polish your teeth, check on your oral health, and look at the condition of your existing dental work to ensure a clean bill of health in Vermillion.
We use advanced digital x-ray technology to provide you with unique insights into your oral health and to minimize exposure to radiation. X-rays let us look for hidden issues with your oral health or existing dental restorations like fillings, crowns, and more.
Fluoride treatments can be included with any teeth cleaning. Dr. Randy will apply a fluoride-rich compound to your teeth and leave it in place. This attracts minerals to your teeth, strengthening them and even reversing very minor decay known as “soft spots.”
Dental sealants use clear, durable plastic resin to coat your rear teeth. This resin is specifically designed to prevent cavities from forming. With proper care, dental sealants will protect you from cavities for 5 years or longer. This is an ideal treatment for cavity-prone patients of all ages.
Dr. Randy provides oral cancer screenings as part of every six-month consultation at our office. This gives you peace of mind, especially if you’re high-risk due to smoking, excessive sun exposure, and other risk factors.
Teeth grinding (bruxism) can damage your teeth and lead to further oral health issues. We offer comfortable, custom-fitted nightguards to protect your smile at Houska Dental.
I actually love coming to the dentist thanks to Dr. Randy. Would highly recommend.
This dentist and his staff are amazing. I was traveling from Pa and broke a tooth. They got me in, extracted the tooth and were very reasonably priced. The staff and dentist answered all questions and were great. I cant say enough good about them.
My experience here has been without a doubt the best experience I have ever had with a dental office. Everyone here is friendly and they recognized me on my second visit! Questions are answered and concerns are addressed in a friendly manner.
