Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry is the practice of taking care of your teeth to keep them healthy. It helps to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more.
There are different forms of preventive dentistry, which include, daily brushing and dental cleanings. In order to maintain optimal oral health, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visits to the dentist at regular intervals. Preventive dentistry makes sure that teeth are clean, strong, and white. It is also important to teach your children proper oral hygiene habits at an early age.
Preventive dentistry services offered by us include:
- Regular oral exams, every 6 months
- Teeth cleaning
- Dental X-rays
Not only this, preventative dental care starts with you which means developing healthy oral habits in the early stage. They can help reduce cavities, gum disease, and gingivitis.
General dentist: Also referred to as a family dentist offers family dentistry services that include routine preventive care like regular teeth cleanings, exams, and X-rays. They also help with fillings and provide other basic dental care too. One of the key roles of a general dentist is to guide you in proper dental care. They also identify potential problems, if any, before they become complex and help you build healthier habits, and refer you to dental specialists if you need further care.
