Protecting Your Smile for a Lifetime
Preventive dentistry is the key to a lifetime of oral health. It involves a system of practices, treatments, and habits aimed at preventing dental problems from occurring in the first place. By way of prevention, rather than treatment, preventive dentistry saves healthy teeth, gums, and overall well-being from unnecessary pain and cost down the road.
Preventive dentistry is the combination of regular dental checkups, cleanings, patient education, and good oral health habits to halt dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, loss of enamel, and other oral diseases from occurring or advancing.
It is an active type of dental treatment for patients of all age groups—children learning to care for their teeth, adults maintaining oral health, and older adults preserving natural teeth.
Preventive dentistry is important for several reasons:
Early Detection: Regular visits can identify issues like cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer in their early stages, making them more affordable and simpler to treat.
Cost-Effective: Preventive dentistry reduces the scope for costly dental treatments like root canals, implants, or surgeries.
Preserves Natural Teeth: Your natural teeth can live forever if well taken care of, and not need dentures or bridges.
Supports Overall Health: Poorly maintained oral health has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory disease. Preventive care protects more than your smile.
Daily Oral Hygiene
Daily brushing, twice a day, with fluoride toothpaste and once-a-day flossing are essential habits. Flossing and brushing remove food particles and plaque, preventing decay and gum disease.
Regular Dental Checkups
Regularly scheduled dental appointments—ideally every 6 months—allow your dentist to check your dental health, receive professional cleanings, and identify emerging problems in the early stages.
Professional Cleanings
Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar that can’t be removed by brushing. This reduces the risk of cavities and gum irritation.
Fluoride Treatments and Sealants
Fluoride hardens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to decay. Dental sealants give a protective barrier on the back sides of molars, especially on children.
Diet and Nutrition Counseling
Restricting sugary foods and drinks, and eating a well-balanced diet of vitamins and minerals, is a key consideration to healthy teeth and gums.
Mouthguards and Nightguards
Custom-made guards for athletes who clench their teeth at night can protect them from harm and destruction.
Getting dental care early teaches habits that will last a lifetime. Preventive dentistry in children focuses on:
Preventive dentistry is your partnership with your dental health care provider. While your dentist performs professional cleanings and examinations, your daily home oral hygiene routine is crucial in keeping your mouth healthy.
Take action—don’t wait until you have symptoms of pain or swelling to visit the dentist. Instead, visit the dentist on a regular basis and experience regular home care.
