Practicing Preventive Dentistry

What is preventive dentistry? It's preventive care that helps to avoid common dental issues
such as cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. A healthy mouth and strong teeth are
important in our overall general health, but many individuals seem to be unaware that bacteria
in the mouth is the primary causes for gum disease, tooth loss and decay.

Preventive Dentistry Methods:

Proper and adequate dental hygiene includes but is not limited to:

  • Brushing
  • Flossing
  • Proper diet and nutrition
  • Potential use of sealants
  • Fluorides

Preventive dentistry involves more than fresh breath. It also means regular dental checkups
and cleanings, polishing, and fluoride treatments when necessary. Most individuals are
encouraged to visit his or her dentist every six months to obtain cleanings and to ensure the
teeth are healthy, properly aligned, and in the prevention of cavities, gum disease or tooth
decay. Our best efforts at brushing and flossing are a great start, but regular office visits are
able to clean better, deeper and more thoroughly than we're able to by ourselves.

Who Benefits from Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dental care can save individuals thousands of dollars throughout the course of a
year. Preventive methods such as brushing, flossing, and regular cleaning and polishing helps
to ensure healthy, strong teeth. Children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens benefit from
preventive dentistry through bright, white, and healthy smiles.

Preventive dentistry measures help spot and target alignment or jaw disorders before they
become serious problems. Your local dentist will be able to instruct you on proper dental
hygiene that may minimize or even prevent serious complications.
