- Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy : Performing deep cleanings—known as scaling and root planing—to remove tartar from beneath the gumline and smooth the roots of the teeth.
- Applying Preventative Materials : Painting on cavity-preventing agents like topical fluoride and applying pit-and-fissure sealants to protect chewing surfaces.

- Oral Hygiene Instruction : Demonstrating proper brushing and flossing techniques tailored to the individual patient’s anatomy.
