An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Preventative Dentistry

You Can Prevent Tooth Decay

Preventative care involves proper brushing, flossing and regular, professional teeth cleanings every six months.

Failing to care for your teeth can lead to pain, expensive dental procedures, and poor health.

How does this happen? How does tooth decay occur?

It seems simple, but we often neglect our care inadvertently. The good news is, that through proper care, we can help you restore your health and develop strong, new habits to help prevent further decay or damage.

It might be this oversimplification that leads to poor dental care habits in the first place. But despite the cause, the important thing to remember is that the prevention of decay is too important to neglect. And the worst news is that these habits lead directly to gum disease.

Who Is A Good Fit for Preventative Dentistry?

The short answer is: all of us!

We can all benefit from healthy teeth and gums. But, for some of us, it is much more important. If you are concerned with the appearance of your teeth, have foul odors in your mouth, have sensitive or irritated gums, or notice any other problems with your teeth, you should consider a checkup.

For those that suspect or currently have gum disease, Preventative Dentistry can make a huge difference in your daily life.
