Preventive Dentistry

What is Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dentistry is an approach to dental care that aims to maintain healthy teeth and gums through regular dental visits, hygiene practices, and early detection. This includes a combination of at-home oral care and professional treatments like cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, and sealants to protect teeth from decay and gum disease.
Who Needs Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dentistry benefits everyone, from young children to older adults. It’s especially important for:
- Children – Establishing good oral hygiene habits early can prevent cavities and ensure proper dental development.
- Adults – Regular cleanings and exams help keep teeth strong, reduce the risk of decay, and prevent gum disease.
- Seniors – Preventive care supports gum health and prevents tooth loss, which is essential for maintaining oral health as we age.
