Preventive Dentistry

A healthy smile is more than straight white teeth. It starts with a healthy, clean mouth without infections, gum disease, or tooth decay, and is supported by a healthy lifestyle.

By assessing your mouth as a whole and not just focusing on problems, we are able to educate you about your mouth and what you need to do to achieve good dental health. We then work with you to maintain it.

Many people are unaware that the bacteria associated with dental disease like gum disease can also affect your heart and brain. A healthy mouth helps maintain a healthy body. Most of the treatment we provide in dentistry today has a preventive aspect to it and they include:

• Scale and prophylaxis

• Fissure sealants

• Topical Fluoride treatment

• Oral hygiene instructions

• Other dental adjuncts (mouthwashes, cleaning aids and tooth mousse)

• Oral cancer screen

• Active maintenance

We suggest that you schedule your 6 monthly dental check-up and clean when you finish your existing appointment with us.
It is never too late or too early in life to begin caring for your teeth. With your help, we can help you keep your teeth for life.
