Cleaning | Comprehensive Exam | Flouride Treatment | Oral Cancer Screening
The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist every six months. Preventive dental care can help you reduce or avoid future costs by preventing and finding potential issues sooner. Because many diseases and conditions first show signs in your mouth, good dental health and a strong relationship with your dental office are important steps in your overall health
The doctor will review all findings and discuss possible treatment options to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
Fluoride can be an important part of preventing tooth decay in patients of all ages. During your visit, we will determine your risk for dental decay by discussing your diet, home care, previous decay history, illnesses and prescription medications. Fluoride treatment can be done in the office, or at home.
In the office: Treatment can be done during your regular exam using a tray with gel or foam fluoride. A more highly concentrated fluoride varnish that is brushed onto your teeth can also be used.
At home: Options for fluoride treatment include prescription toothpastes or a daily rinse. It is important to follow all recommendations made by your dentist and to also be aware of the fluoride levels in your water.
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Glenview Smiles provides oral cancer screenings as part of your regular dental exam. There are two main risk factors for oral cancer. Smoking and tobacco use are long-term historic causes of oral cancer. In addition, the HPV-16 virus, a sexually-transmitted disease, is resulting in the fastest-growing segment of oral cancer patients being young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals.
When found early, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. Dentists can be a first line of defense in identifying abnormalities in the mouth, which could be a sign of oral cancer.

I’ve been a patient at this practice since 2009, mostly because of Kristen the hygienist. This practice Was recently purchased and I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Rebecca. She is thorough in her exam and conservative in not trying to talk you into procedures you don’t need. As an added bonus they offer a discount program that pays for itself in your first visit and significantly lowers the cost of your regular visits for cleaning and check ups. I highly recommend them
The staff is helpful and friendly. Doctor Schneider was very thorough in his examination and was also friendly and helpful.
Always friendly and so good at everything dental! The staff is friendly and helpful, and Dr. Earl and Dr. Justin are EXCELLENT at what they do. I had a tooth extraction done recently, and experienced NO pain at all. Dr. Justin provided all the help I needed for a quick recovery, as well as follow-up phone calls to make sure I was feeling okay. I can't say enough great things about this entire practice, from regular cleanings and exams to extractions, and eventually, an implant. Highly recommended!
