What is Preventive Dentistry?
-
Preventive dentistry encompasses a range of practices and treatments aimed at maintaining good oral health and preventing common dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay. This includes routine dental check-ups, professional cleanings, and patient education on proper oral hygiene habits. The goal of preventive dentistry is to catch potential problems early and address them before they become more serious.
Our Preventive Dentistry Services
-
Routine Dental Exams: Regular dental exams allow our dentists to monitor your oral health, identify any issues early, and provide appropriate treatment. We recommend scheduling an exam every six months.
-
Professional Cleanings: Even with the best at-home care, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Our professional cleanings remove these deposits, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease.
-
Dental X-Rays: X-rays help us see what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums, allowing us to detect issues like decay, infections, and bone loss that may not be visible during a standard exam.
-
Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride strengthens your tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Regular fluoride treatments are a simple and effective way to protect your teeth.
-
Dental Sealants: Sealants provide an extra layer of protection for your molars, the teeth most prone to cavities. They’re especially beneficial for children but can be helpful for adults as well.
-
Oral Cancer Screenings: Early detection is key to successfully treating oral cancer. Our dentists perform oral cancer screenings during your routine exams to ensure any signs of cancer are caught as early as possible.
-
Patient Education: We’re committed to helping you take control of your oral health. Our team will provide personalized advice on brushing, flossing, diet, and other habits that promote a healthy smile.
Why Preventive Dentistry Matters?
-
Preventive dentistry is the cornerstone of a healthy smile. By keeping up with regular check-ups and cleanings, you can prevent many common dental problems before they start. This proactive approach not only protects your oral health but also contributes to your overall well-being, as many dental issues are linked to other health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
