What is Preventative Dental Care

Preventative Dental Care is all about maintaining excellent oral health. Creating good habits is essential in helping to prevent cavities, gingivitis, and other oral issues.

What You Can Do:

Brush your teeth twice a day using a soft toothbrush and dentist-recommended toothpaste.
Floss in between your teeth.
Using mouthwash so you can kill the bacteria that reside in between your teeth and gums.

What You Can Expect At Your Dental Check-up:

A thorough cleaning helps prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease.
X-rays to show the dentist the health of your tooth roots and other areas that are beyond the surface of the gum line.
Full Exam to assess your mouth and make note of any issues that may be present or forming.
Scheduling future dentist visits. It’s important to continue going to the dentist at least every 6 months. A simple dentist visit can prevent larger-scale issues from forming.
