Preventive Dentistry

Information may not be reliable

Preventive dentistry is any type of dental care that helps to maintain optimal oral health as well as to prevent the negative effects of disease and time. Just as regular maintenance of your car prevents breakdowns on the freeway, preventive dentistry aims to deter dental diseases. Preventive dentistry uses many non-invasive treatments, regular dental check ups, along with developing good hygiene and dietary habits to maintain a healthy mouth. Developing the habits to maintain good oral health starts at a young age and becomes critically important once the permanent teeth erupt to ensure a lifetime of healthy teeth.
