Cleanings & PreventionA preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient,
dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition
and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress,
and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.
Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral
hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental
office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist
to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.
Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings,
and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive
treatments that help protect the teeth.
Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems
and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful
smile. |
