PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY
“Oral health is essential to general health and well-being at every stage of life.”
We all have teeth - and we all want to keep them for life! The purpose of Preventive Dentistry is to help each of us keep our teeth and gums healthy today and every day.
The two primary causes of tooth loss, decay and gum disease are generally
caused by bacteria in the mouth.
However, both of these problems can be dramatically minimized, if not prevented, through proper
dental hygiene practiced on a regular basis.
Some of the elements of proper dental hygiene include brushing twice a day, flossing, eating a balanced diet, limiting between-meal snacks, and seeing your dentist twice a year for cleaning and examination. Additional preventive methods include the application of dental sealants
(a plastic
coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth) and exposure to fluoride in the form of fluoridated drinking water, toothpaste, mouthwash, or fluoride treatments directly applied by your dentist.
The vast majority of dental disease can be prevented, but only through the consistent practice of the prevention methods.
