The best way to maintain your oral health is to receive routine preventative treatment. The reason this is true is that it’s faster and easier to take good care of your smile in the first place than it is to restore it after damage from cavities, gum disease or other issues.
Preventive dentistry encompasses all forms of dental care dedicated to helping you avoid dental problems and keep your mouth healthy. Preventive treatments are designed to help you maintain your natural teeth and avoid the need for more extensive care. After all, the better care you take of your teeth, mouth, gums and supporting oral structures, the greater or chances are for maintaining your natural teeth throughout your life. Preventive care includes routine dental cleanings and exams in our office, as well as maintaining a good oral hygiene routine at home. Other things which factor into preventive care include treatments such as dental sealants and fluoride, your diet and nutrition, and checking that appliances and restorations are working properly for you.
