At Smiles for Miles Dentistry, our goal is to help patients prevent dental issues before they start. With proactive care and patient education, Dr. Salm and our experienced team empower you to maintain lifelong oral health—and minimize the need for costly or complex treatments in the future.
Why Preventive Dentistry Matters
Preventive dental care focuses on early detection and intervention to stop problems before they progress. While brushing and flossing at home are essential, they are not a substitute for professional dental exams and cleanings.
Even patients with strong at-home routines can develop issues that go unnoticed without expert evaluation. That’s why routine visits to our office are so important. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Salm has the training to recognize subtle signs of:
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Oral cancer
- Bite alignment issues
- Wear from grinding (bruxism)
Our team also uses advanced diagnostic tools to catch problems early—when they’re easiest and least expensive to treat.
What Preventive Services Do We Offer?
Our preventive care includes a wide range of services designed to support your overall oral health:
- Professional cleanings
- Digital X-rays and advanced imaging
- Oral cancer screenings
- Fluoride treatments
- Dental sealants for children and teens

Patient Education Is Key
Dr. Salm is a firm believer that education is the foundation of prevention. When you understand your oral health, you can make better decisions about your care.
Whether you’re choosing between treatment options or just learning how to improve your brushing technique, Dr. Salm will:
- Walk you through every step of your exam or treatment

You’ll always have the information you need to make confident choices—with support from a team you can trust.
