Preventive dentistry is oral care that involves education, treatment and practice of maintaining your teeth and gums.
Preventive dentistry emphasizes the importance of ongoing hygiene procedures and daily practices to prevent tooth decay and other dental diseases and conditions. Effective preventive dentistry combines at-home oral care by patients with chairside treatments and consulting dental professionals.
A variety of procedures occur in the dental chair for patients receiving preventive treatment, regardless of age.
The dental examination itself is a form of prevention, as the purpose of the appointment is to detect the potential for dental decay, both during the oral exam and upon reading any dental images (x-rays) taken. Once the exam is done, the dentist can then recommend that the patient have his or her teeth cleaned, which is helpful in the prevention of cavities and gum disease.
The benefits of this form of dentistry are numerous, and patients of all ages can achieve their goals: keeping gum disease, sensitivity, cavities and other common conditions at bay. If early signs of cavities and gum disease can be reversed, then patients can look forward to a lifetime of healthy smiles.
