What is Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dentistry services keep your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy. When you come in for a routine dental exam and cleaning, you are taking steps toward preventing dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease. If we find a problem, we can often treat it and prevent it from progressing. A simple problem is usually easier and less costly to fix.
Who is Preventive Dental Care For?
Everyone can benefit from preventive dental care. A dental checkup for children as young as one will help them establish good habits and keep them in good health. We encourage everyone to see the dentist at least once every six months to maintain oral health and ensure their smile looks great! Some patients may be recommended to come in more often based on their gum health and certain risk factors.
Preventive Dental Care Benefits
Good dental health often supports overall health.
- Prevents serious dental problems: We can help prevent cavities, gum disease, tooth loss, and more when you see the dentist regularly.
- Protects your overall health: Dental issues can make the rest of your body more susceptible to certain conditions. For example, gum disease can increase your risk for heart disease. When you take good care of your teeth, you help protect your entire body’s health.
- Gives you greater confidence: When you know your teeth are healthy and clean, you can feel confident while eating, speaking and smiling!
- Prevents costly restorations: Preventing big dental problems will save you money. The bigger the problem, often the more complicated and costly the restorative procedure.
