Complete Checkups Keep Your Smile Healthy

Dr. Fitts suggests that patients visit us twice a year for routine checkups. This helps us watch your oral health closely and catch any problems early.

Your visit includes more than just a basic cleaning and exam. Our team performs an oral cancer screening so we can spot this disease early. We also look for signs of gum disease to catch and treat infections before they harm your gums and teeth.

When necessary, we'll take X-rays to get a close look at your tooth roots, bones, and nerves. This helps us find any issues that could cause you trouble later on.

Extra Protection for Stronger Teeth

Based on your exam results, we may suggest treatments to keep your smile in great shape. Fluoride treatments help prevent cavities by making your tooth enamel stronger. Fluoride can even reverse early tooth decay.

Tooth sealants are thin plastic layers we apply to certain teeth. They work like raincoats for your teeth by creating a barrier against harmful bacteria.

These simple treatments provide powerful protection for your smile.

Call East Limestone Family Dental today at 256-229-3416 to schedule your dental cleanings and exams in Athens, AL. Let's work together to keep your smile healthy.

Thank heavens we found East Limestone Dental! No conditions to have dental care! I have had my first cleaning. The staff is incredible! Again, thank heavens for this family dental office. (We had visited several other area Madison/Limestone County dental offices who informed us that before they would take us as new patients we had to have a deep periodontal cleaning for $1,500.00. Every one of these dental offices used the same phrase: "We are "ethically" bound to do this.")

Everything was done in a timely fashion. The dental assistant is amazing! She cleans without producing any kind of gum pain! They have updated thev parking area, too. It's a great place to go to have dental work. My next visit was to have a crown. It was a perfect visit in every way. We started on time. The assistant was terrific. She explained what she was doing and had a very calming personality. I was amazed that when everything was finished, they did not need to make any adjustments. It fit perfectly! Hurray for technology and hurray for those who know how to use it! It is wonderful to be able to go in and within a couple of hours have the work completed.
