Why is preventive dental care important?

Preventive dental cleanings, also known as prophylactic cleanings, are the procedures you likely think of when you’re reminded of the dentist. They’re routine cleanings for patients with healthy gums. The American Dental Association recommends two cleanings per year for most patients. This gives our team a chance to remove plaque and tartar build up, so your smile can stay healthy and beautiful for longer.

What to expect at your preventive dental care appointment

I have appreciated Julia’s expertise and competence as a dental hygienist for many years. I will always be thankful for her keen eye catching a tricky dental problem  early on. I also like her and Dr Sage’s focus on prevention and oral health as the first step towards heart and brain health.

Just had my first visit with and I’ve never been treated so well by a dental team! I’m actually looking forward to working with them on addressing my periodontal and teeth issues. Highly highly recommend.

Dr Carns was, as always, friendly and professional.  He gave my teeth a good cleaning.  We discussed a cosmetic issue.  He gave me his thoughts and arranged for me to get a further opinion from Dr Sage.

Great dental work. Everyone I’ve worked with has been thorough, communicative and efficient. My impression is that the office makes a point to use up to date tech and techniques, and consistently makes patient comfort their priority (extra pillows and water are nice touches during long filling sessions!). Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue. I've been coming to Sage Family Dentistry for over 5 years, ever since moving to Seattle. My kids also get their dental care here ever since they were born. Dr. Sage and all the other dentists, hygienists, and staff have all been great this entire time. I recently had a bad toothache on a Friday night, called in Saturday morning (when they're normally closed), and was in the office within 1.5 hours with Dr. Sage solving my issue - during a holiday weekend! Highly recommended.
