Preventive Dentistry
What is Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and preventing issues like cavities, gum disease, and enamel wear. Key practices include regular dental checkups, good oral hygiene (brushing, flossing, mouthwash), fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and healthy eating. Wearing mouthguards and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol also help protect teeth and gums. These proactive measures reduce the need for more extensive dental treatments later.

Routine Dental Checkups
Regular exams allow dentists to monitor oral health, detect early signs of issues like cavities or gum disease, and provide timely interventions to prevent further complications
Professional Teeth Cleaning:
Deep cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that daily brushing may miss. This helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath, keeping teeth and gums healthy
Fluoride Treatments:
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Applied during checkups, these treatments help prevent cavities, especially in children or those prone to decay.

Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to block out food particles and bacteria, reducing the risk of cavities in these hard-to-reach areas.
