What Is Preventative Dentistry?

Preventative treatment encompasses a wide array of dental techniques. Routine dental checkups are important because we check for serious issues that can lead to severe consequences and clean your teeth. Preventative dentistry includes:

  • Periodontal Disease Prevention– Patients suffering from gum diseases often complain of chronic bad breath, bleeding gums, and loose teeth. When not corrected, periodontal disease can cause severe damage to your teeth.
  • Diagnosis– Our dental team inspects your teeth and gums for any issues, diagnoses the condition, and recommends treatment options.
  • Deep Cleaning– Deep cleaning is a deeper form of dental cleaning that involves thoroughly scaling and planing deep into your teeth and gums to remove plaque.
  • Gum Maintenance– Preventative care treats your gums to ensure that they remain free of plaque and tartar, both of which can lead to gum diseases like gingivitis.

Preventative Dentistry Diet and Oral Health

One of the most important parts of preventing dental issues is maintaining proper oral health with your diet. Drinking too many sugary drinks and food, consuming products that stain your teeth, and eating too many acidic fruits can affect your oral health. Your mouth will be healthier if you consume food and drinks that offer vitamins, stimulate saliva, neutralize acid, and repairs tooth enamel.

Mouth Guards and Custom Dental Pieces

Mouth guards and custom-designed pieces help prevent dental issues associated with teeth grinding and uneven bites. Without treatment, these symptoms often show extreme wear to the mouth, leading to tooth loss or gum problems. Mouth guards can also help alleviate muscular issues related to temporomandibular joint disorders.

 

  • Fluoride Treatments for Preventative Dentistry

    Fluoride is one of the most beneficial treatments for your teeth. It helps strengthen teeth and prevent tooth decay. We recommend fluoride treatments during your routine visits and toothpaste with fluoride at home.

    Benefits of X-rays For Preventative Dentistry

    Dental x-rays are vital to our comprehensive dental examinations. They help our preventative dentistry measures by detecting activities, bone infections, and other issues. We can often find dental problems in the early stages to better combat them.

 

Your Everyday Dental Hygiene

Your everyday dental routine is a crucial way to help our team with preventative dentistry. It’s important to brush and floss twice a day to help fight tooth decay and gum disease. Remember, flossing and brushing do not rid of all bacteria. It’s vital to attend dental checkups every six months.
