Preventive Dentistry St. Charles
Thinking Ahead to Keep You Healthy
Did you know that many common general health issues show some of their earliest symptoms in the mouth? Conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes can affect the teeth and gums as well as internal organs, which is why Dr. Allen looks for much more than cavities during routine exams. This broader scope enables us to be extremely proactive and keep you well-informed about your health.

Dental Checkups & Cleanings
We’ll look for signs of inflammation and infection during your routine exams, do a thorough oral cancer screening, remove harmful bacterial plaque, and go over our findings with you so you stay fully informed about the state of your health.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is the most common dental problem in the world, affecting more than half of all adults worldwide. It’s also the leading cause of tooth loss and is correlated with a dramatic increase in the risk for heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and dementia. We can use a deep cleaning to remove the cause of the problem, keeping you protected from head to toe.
Children’s Dentistry
A child’s early healthcare experiences can have a drastic effect on their wellness throughout their lives. That’s why we focus on only using safe, non-toxic materials with young patients (and every patient) while making sure each appointment is a comfortable, educational, and empowering experience for both children and parents.
Hydroxyapatite Treatment
Our practice prioritizes the use of hydroxyapatite because it is more biocompatible than fluoride, meaning the enamel absorbs it better, because it’s the exact same substance the teeth are made of.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy uses activated oxygen to eliminate harmful bacteria and support your body’s natural healing response. In our office, it may be used during dental cleanings, periodontal (gum) treatments, early cavity care, and following procedures to improve healing and overall oral health.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Did you know that up to 1 in 3 people unconsciously grind their teeth while they sleep? In addition to wearing down the enamel and causing dental work to break down quickly, it’s also one of the most overlooked contributors to cavities. Instead of just treating the cavity, we can treat the source with a nightguard. This small appliance, worn only to bed, prevents harmful contact between the teeth, helping them stay safe and whole.
