What is Preventative Dentistry?
Preventative dentistry is dental care that helps you retain good oral health. It is a combination of both regular dental check-ups and good home habits, like brushing and flossing. Everyone needs preventative dental services. We recommend scheduling a check-up once every six months, however some people may need to be seen more frequently. Children are encouraged to have their first pediatric dental visit as teeth start erupting. Your trips to the dentist for regular preventative dental care are essential because some dental problems are not noticeable at first. When you come in for a checkup, we look carefully at every area of your mouth. If we find an area of concern, we will come up with a plan to get it taken care of that works best for you.
