Preventative teeth cleanings are a cornerstone of lasting oral health. Professional cleanings are important to helping reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Our dental hygiene team not only ensures your smile stays clean but also teaches you oral hygiene tips to maintain a healthy smile between routine checkups.
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. Teeth cleanings allow us to identify and treat issues at an early stage when they are smaller and less invasive to manage. In addition to safeguarding your smile, we assess the well-being of your gums to help prevent any unwelcome surprises down the road. Preventive dental care can help you reduce or avoid future costs by preventing and finding potential issues sooner.
Most insurance plans cover two preventative care visits a year. Staying ahead of plaque and tartar buildup contributes to improved oral health, bolstering your immune system and enhancing your smile’s brightness.
By establishing good oral habits and not skipping your twice a year cleanings, you can smile more knowing that you are helping lower the likelihood of gum disease, tooth decay, and dental emergencies.
At Cox Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, we prioritize an exceptional patient experience, providing comfortable care and professional cleanings to promote healthy teeth for life. If it has been six months or longer since your last dental checkup, schedule your next visit with us today.
My husband and I moved to Fredericksburg and were looking for a dentist. Husband needs sedation dentistry due to dental trauma experienced in childhood. Few dentist will do sedation dentistry but Dr. Cox will. So now we have been going to Dr. Cox for about 3 years. My husband has had many procedures and he is very pleased. I had only had teeth cleaning until……an emergency - a painful cracked tooth! Dr. Cox and team really came through for me. They got me in for a consult same day and next day scheduled the work. An implant was a possibility if the damages were too severe but fortunately that was not required. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Cox performed a root canal, prepped the tooth for a crown and installed a permanent crown. I walked out in two hours, problem solved! I am grateful and well pleased with this dentist office and Dr. Cox. Also, the office is clean, well run, and the staff is friendly. One improvement that is needed and I hope they are working on it, is getting the parking lot repaired/resurfaced - it’s hard to avoid the holes.
I always have a good experience when I visit Cox Family Dentistry. No matter if it's a regularly scheduled cleaning or an emergency crown repair during the Holidays, I am cheerfully greeted upon arrival and ushered into the exam room shortly after. They always update me on the status of my dental health, letting me know which teeth may be in need of future attention. Friendly and professional staff.
After having several bad or mediocre experiences with dentists in the area, I began a search for a family dentist that would better meet my family's dental needs. I was looking for an office with flexible hours and with a staff that could handle my anxious daughter. Her anxiety at other dentists had lead to wrong diagnoses and recommendations for expensive services like cleaning under sedation. I asked around for recommendations and looked at reviews online. After receiving Cox's flyer in the mail that specifically used friendliness as a marketing point, I called and spoke to the receptionist. That conversation was reassuring, so I made appointments for everyone in the family. The first time went so well that I started a campaign amongst my sisters to get our eldest sister in to see Dr. Cox. She needed major dental work and had been avoiding it for over a decade. By that time, she was avoiding it out of fear and shame. After several months of pressure, she finally caved and went. After getting everything done, she told me how comforting and non-shaming the staff was. I am so grateful to Dr. Cox and the staff for their kindness, compassion, and patience with my sometimes neurotic family. If you are considering a change in dentists or are new to the area, I highly recommend this office. This is the first time I've posted a review because I feel so strongly about it.
I have been a patient of Dr. Cox for about five years and love the office staff. The office environment is clean and comfortable. Their equipment is state of the art. My 6-month hygiene cleanings are thorough and relaxing; the office staff, hygienists and assistants are very friendly and calming. Great office!
I have been a patient for a little over 2 years and am still happy. The staff is very friendly, I am greeted every time I walk in with a smile from the ladies at the front. I feel at ease, which is nice since I have anxiety at the dentist normally. The cleaning feels very thorough and the Hygienist and Dr. Cox are very informative.
