Cleaning & Prevention
A preventive program is a cooperative effort by
the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the
onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.
Preventing dental disease starts at home with good
oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and
dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.
Prevention also includes regular dental exams,
cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the
teeth.
Prevention helps avoid serious and costly
dental problems and is the key to having a healthy,
confident, beautiful smile.
