Preventive Treatment

Preventive treatment in dentistry is important because you are focusing on measures and practices aimed at preventing dental issues before they develop, rather than treating problems after they arise. The goal of preventive care is to maintain optimal oral health and reduce the risk of conditions such as cavities, gum disease, and other oral infections.  By addressing potential issues early, preventive care contributes to long-term oral health and reduces the need for complex dental procedures.

​

Some common preventive treatments include:

• Regular Cleanings and Checkups: Professional cleanings by the hygienist to remove plaque and tartar buildup, while checkups help detect early signs of dental issues like cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer.

• Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. It’s often applied during dental visits or can be found in fluoride toothpaste and mouth rinses.

• Dental Sealants: A thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars) to prevent decay by sealing out bacteria and food particles.

• Mouth guards: Custom-fitted mouth guards protect teeth from injury during sports or help prevent damage caused by teeth grinding (bruxism).

• Oral Hygiene Education: Educate patients on proper brushing and flossing techniques, the importance of a balanced diet, and lifestyle choices that promote oral health.

• X-rays: Regular X-rays allow the dentist to spot problems that are not visible to the naked eye, such as cavities between teeth, early signs of gum disease, or issues with the jawbone.
