Preventive Dentistry in Coral Gables, FL

Proactive Care for a Lifetime of Healthy Smiles

At Minty Fresh, we believe the best dentistry is the kind that prevents problems before they start. That’s why we focus on preventive dentistry—a proactive, comprehensive approach to keeping your teeth, gums, and overall oral health in excellent shape for life.

Led by Dr. Jenny Hernandez, our team in Coral Gables, FL offers personalized preventive care that helps you avoid cavities, gum disease, and costly procedures down the road.

What Is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry refers to all the care, education, and treatments designed to maintain oral health and stop dental problems before they develop. Regular visits to the dentist, along with good home habits, are the foundation of long-term oral wellness.

Preventive care is for everyone—children, teens, adults, and seniors. It’s not just about cleanings—it’s about protecting your entire smile.

Our Preventive Dentistry Services Include:

Comprehensive Dental Exams

Routine checkups help detect issues early—before they become painful or expensive. Dr. Hernandez evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw health at every visit.

Professional Dental Cleanings

Our skilled hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing can’t reach, helping prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

Digital X-Rays

Safe, low-radiation X-rays give us a deeper look at what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums—essential for accurate diagnosis.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection saves lives. We screen for abnormal tissue during every routine visit, especially important for adults and tobacco users.

Fluoride Treatments

Professional fluoride helps strengthen enamel and prevent decay—ideal for both children and cavity-prone adults.

Dental Sealants

A simple, painless way to protect molars from cavities—especially recommended for kids and teens.

Periodontal Maintenance

For patients with a history of gum disease, we provide ongoing maintenance to prevent relapse and preserve gum and bone health.

Why Is Preventive Dentistry So Important?

Stops decay and gum disease before they start
Protects your natural teeth for life
Saves time, pain, and money on future treatments
Keeps your breath fresh and your smile bright
Reduces the risk of dental emergencies

Good oral health also supports your overall health, with studies linking gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions.

Prevention Is a Partnership

At Minty Fresh, we believe preventive care is a team effort. Our role is to monitor, clean, and guide. Your role is to maintain daily brushing, flossing, and healthy habits at home.

Together, we can build a strong, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.
