Preventive Dentistry: Your Path to a Problem-Free Smile

Preventive dentistry starts at home with conscientious brushing and flossing on your part. When you back up your hygiene efforts with dental exams and teeth cleanings at our Littleton dental office every six months, you are well on your way to your healthiest smile.

Even if you are not experiencing any problems, you still need to schedule dental exams and teeth cleanings at Platte Canyon Dental every six months, or as recommended. Seeing you at regular intervals allows Dr. Linn to look for cavities and gum disease (gingivitis) that often develop without any symptoms.

The Dangers of Gum Disease

Untreated gum disease is a bacterial infection that damages your oral health by gradually breaking down the bone that supports your teeth and putting you at risk for tooth loss. Worse yet, gum disease is an inflammation that also jeopardizes your general health and is linked to serious systemic conditions like heart and respiratory disease, diabetes, strokes, arthritis, and cancer.

Gingivitis is the first stage of gum disease, and if we do not catch it soon enough, it can develop into periodontitis. We provide gum disease treatment at our Littleton dental office for both stages, and Dr. Linn will work with you to come up with a treatment plan to get your gums back to their optimal health.

Schedule Your Next Dental Exam

Dr. Linn is an experienced Littleton, CO dentist who offers comprehensive dental care for everyone in your family. Whether it has been six months or six years since your last dental cleaning, we would love to welcome you to Platte Canyon Dental to help you achieve, maintain, and enhance your healthy smile.

We open at 7 AM on Wednesdays and stay until 6 PM on Thursdays to accommodate your family's busy work and school schedules. Please call us at (303) 797-2286 to book an appointment to get started.

I feel that she is a very honest Dentist

I wasn’t feeling good about the old practice that we were going to I just had some sneaky suspicion‘s. The last time we went, they told my daughter she had four cavities and I wasn’t feeling confident about that so I went to get a second opinion. I was turned onto this place with high recommendations.

The person who I originally went to see has left the practice, the new person is Dr. Christina Lynn, DMD. I feel that she is a very honest Dentist.

Today was my first visit with her. I went in for my six month cleaning with Eric who is the dental hygienist and then Dr. Lynn came in to give me my exam. She was awesome, everyone there from Ashley who answers the phone, to Eric who cleaned my teeth, to Dr. Lynn who did my exams, everything was wonderful.

I had set up appointments with my entire family on different days to get their teeth cleaned and other dental things done that was going on. I feel confident that Dr. Lin knows what she is doing. I WOULD recommend this place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontal disease?

Gum disease is a serious problem that affects nearly half of all US adults over the age of thirty. At Platte Canyon Dental, we provide education for our patients to help them avoid the need for gum disease treatment at our Littleton dental office.

Gingivitis is a gum infection that occurs when plaque and bacteria are not removed regularly from your teeth and gums. Common signs of gingivitis are inflamed, swollen or tender gums, and bleeding when you brush or floss.

Left untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontal (gum) disease. Periodontal disease is a serious infection that affects not only your gums but also attacks the bone that supports your teeth. Untreated periodontal disease will ultimately lead to tooth loss.

Gum disease takes a toll on your oral health. Numerous studies indicate that there is a connection between chronic gum infections and systemic diseases such as heart disease, lung disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, and even pregnancy complications.

At Platte Canyon Dental, we provide all the preventive services your family needs to keep your mouth healthy and free of disease. Aside from conscientious oral hygiene, dental exams and professional cleanings are your best bet for avoiding problems like gum disease and decay.

If you are experiencing symptoms of gingivitis, please call our Littleton dental office to arrange a teeth cleaning with our trained hygienist. He or she will check for signs of gum disease and clean your teeth thoroughly.
