What does preventive dentistry entail?
Maintaining a clean, healthy mouth is a team effort between you and the dentist. We expect you to diligently brush and floss your teeth at home to prevent plaque and tartar buildup. In our office, we complement your at-home oral hygiene with the following services.
- Dental check-ups: Dental screenings are an opportunity to examine your gums and teeth for any issues. Think of them like routine maintenance for your car. Regular service keeps your vehicle running smoothly and prevents costly repairs. Similarly, dental screenings help catch and address potential issues early, saving you from unnecessary pain and expensive repairs. Consistent screenings help you maintain a healthy, confident smile for many years.
- Regular cleanings: Congratulations if you religiously brush and floss your teeth at home. However, you must visit a dentist twice annually to help clean areas you can’t access with home dental tools. Our cleanings are thorough enough to remove surface stains and built-in dental calculus. Besides that just-cleaned feeling, they help prevent decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
- Dental sealants: Your teeth, particularly molars and premolars, have natural grooves that can easily trap food particles and bacteria. These deep crevices make cleaning difficult, even with regular brushing and flossing, increasing the risk of tooth decay. Dental sealants create a protective shield over these surfaces to protect your teeth from harmful bacteria and acids.
- Digital Radiographs as so known as “X-rays”: Radiographs are crucial for uncovering cysts, bone loss, interdental decay, impacted teeth, and other hidden issues. Our office uses the latest dental radiographs, which provide high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure.
Maintaining a healthy smile needs more than brushing and flossing. A comprehensive approach is required to integrate professional care with at-home oral hygiene. Together, these efforts protect your smile from decay, infections, and other problems.
Why does preventive dentistry matter?
No one likes dealing with cavities, tooth loss, gum infections, and other dental issues. Prevention is an excellent way to maintain a healthy, issue-free smile.
Here’s why you should prioritize your preventive dental care.
- Early detection: Our office uses advanced technology to catch dental issues in their earliest, most treatable stage.
- Prevention: Dentistry isn’t just about fixing problems but preventing them. We take a proactive approach to oral health with preventive dentistry, helping you avoid issues before they even start.
- Improved aesthetics: Dental cleanings remove surface stains to keep your smile healthy and beautiful.
- Enhanced systemic health: Your oral health is directly linked to systemic health. Preventing oral issues like periodontal disease protects your overall well-being from cardiovascular problems, diabetes, pregnancy issues, etc.
- Cost savings: Preventing oral problems today is far less costly and time-consuming than treating oral problems later.
