Short Description
Dental care focused on preventing problems like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss before they occur.
Long Description
Preventative dentistry encompasses all dental care and education designed to prevent oral health issues before they become serious. It includes regular exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and patient education.
The goal is to maintain healthy teeth and gums by detecting early signs of decay, gum disease, or oral cancer. Preventative care helps avoid costly procedures and ensures better long-term oral and overall health.
Dentists also offer personalized advice on oral hygiene habits, diet, and lifestyle to reduce the risk of dental problems. Insurance plans often cover preventative care fully, encouraging patients to stay proactive with regular checkups.
