A preventive program is a collaborative effort among the patient, dentist, and dental staff to maintain natural teeth and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progression, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions. Key components of this program include:
Dental Exams & Cleanings
Dental X-Rays
Oral Cancer Exam
Fixed Bridges
Home Care
Preventing dental disease begins at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. This effort continues at the dental office, where your dentist and dental hygienist work to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.
Regular dental exams, cleanings, and X-rays are essential parts of prevention. Sealants and fluoride treatments also play a significant role in protecting your teeth.
Effective prevention helps you avoid serious and costly dental problems, leading to a healthy, confident, and beautiful smile.
