Preventative Dental Procedures
  

Hygiene Cleaning

Scaling and Root Planing


Preventative dentistry refers to the techniques you and your dentist utilize to prevent dental disease. This includes proper home care, flossing, brushing and cleaning between the teeth, use of fluoride toothpaste, proper diet, regular dental maintenance and continuing care appointments.

​Your ongoing care will usually include a full mouth exam, necessary X-rays and digital pictures, as well as a thorough cleaning of the teeth. Sealants, reshaping of deep grooves and special fluoride toothpastes, gels and rinses could also be included in a preventative program.
Athletic mouth guards to help prevent dental sports trauma and night guards to help defend against the effects of grinding of the teeth can certainly be an important part of preventive care, although not generally considered in the category of preventive dentistry.
Dental disease can almost always be prevented and oral health is just as important as the health of the rest of your body. Untreated dental disease can lead to serious health problems such as infection, damage to bone or nerve, and tooth loss. Infection from tooth disease can even spread to other parts of the body and in rare cases, can lead to death.

You can practice preventive dentistry yourself by remembering these healthy habits: remember to brush your teeth twice a day, floss between teeth, and eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks. This will help ensure a beautiful smile that lasts for a lifetime.
