Preventive Care
Preventive care aims to safeguard your smile from harm from dental disorders such gum disease, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. Before these conditions result in damage that needs to be fixed, preventive dentistry strives to stop them.
To assist you in maintaining the healthiest possible condition of your smile, we provide a variety of preventative dental procedures. Visits to our clinic periodically ensure that we catch any early symptoms of damage and treat them before they worsen and become uncomfortable. These procedures include dental sealants and cleanings.
You can take a number of actions to stop tooth decay and cavities. In order to reduce your risk of getting cavities, our dentist advises that you abide by the following recommendations:
- Brush and floss your teeth every day. You should brush at least twice a day and floss at least once a day. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoridated toothpaste.
- Maintain a balanced, healthy diet with a limited amount of very sugary or acidic foods.
- Visit our office at least twice a year for a routine tooth cleaning and dental exam.
- Ask your dentist about dental sealants and fluoride treatment to see if they are right for your smile.
