Here at Gentle Care Family Dental, we believe that the best dental problems are the ones that never exist. Therefore, preventive dental care lies at the heart of everything we do. Maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile for life is what we all intend to achieve without the need for extensive or costly procedures.
What is Preventive Dental Care?
The preventive care actions are proactive measures that will keep you safe from cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, etc., and include routine visits to the dental office, cleaning, instructions for proper at-home oral care.
Our preventive services include:
Complete Dental Examinations
Professional Teeth Cleanings
Digital X-rays
Fluoride Treatment
Sealants
Patient Education on Brushing, Flossing, and Diet
Why Is Preventive Care so Important?
Preventive dental visits enable us to catch possible problems early-before they happen to require treatment that may be more painful or costlier. For example, early gum disease or enamel erosion means we may treat the condition at a much milder and less invasive level before things deteriorate.
Advantages of preventive care include:
Fewer chances of tooth decays and gum disease
Freshness of breath and brightened smile
Long-term lower dental costs
Early detection of oral health issues
The stronger structure for long-term health of dentition
Every When Should You Visit?
Usually, we ask our patients to visit our dental team at least twice a year for their routine exams and cleanings. However, some people may require visiting the dentist more often, depending on their dental background and health build-up or personal habits like smoking.
Good oral hygiene starts at home! Between visits to Gentle Care Family Dental, remember to:
Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day.
Floss once daily.
Eat and drink sugary and acidic foods and beverages in moderation.
Drink water plenty.
Do not use tobacco products.
