Frequently Asked Questions

Preventive dentistry refers to the various practices, procedures, and techniques that help to maintain good oral health and prevent the development of dental problems. This includes regular dental check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and education on proper oral hygiene techniques like brushing and flossing. The goal of preventive dentistry is to keep the teeth and gums healthy, thereby reducing the need for more extensive, invasive, and expensive dental treatments in the future.

Some common preventive dental procedures include:

– Brushing: Brushing teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste helps to remove plaque and bacteria that can cause cavities and gum disease.

– Flossing: Flossing helps to remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and along the gumline, which can cause gum disease if not removed.

– Regular check-ups: Visiting the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning is important to identify and address any potential oral health issues before they become more serious.

– Dental hygiene cleanings: During a cleaning, a dental hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains from the teeth, leaving them smooth and polished.

– Fluoride treatments: Fluoride is a mineral that helps to strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Fluoride treatments can be applied in the form of gels, foams, or varnishes.

– Dental sealants: Dental sealants are thin resin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to protect them from decay.

Generally, preventive dental procedures are less expensive than more extensive and invasive treatments, such as fillings, extractions, and crowns, and can save money in the long run by preventing the need for these treatments.

Preventive dentistry is a cost-effective way to maintain good oral health and prevent more serious and expensive dental problems in the future.

Go for quality and experience and you will save money.

It is recommended that you visit your dentist every six months for a routine check-up and clean. This frequency can vary depending on an individual’s oral health and risk factors, and a dentist can provide personalized recommendations. Regular dental appointments can help to detect potential problems early, before they become more serious and expensive to treat.

Brushing and flossing are the cornerstone of good oral hygiene and are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Brushing helps to remove plaque and bacteria from the surface of the teeth, while flossing helps to remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and along the gumline, where a toothbrush cannot reach. Regular brushing and flossing can help to prevent cavities and gum disease, maintain fresh breath, and improve overall oral health.

Fluoride is a mineral that helps to strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Fluoride can be found in some tap water, toothpastes, and mouth rinses, and can also be applied in the form of gels, foams, or varnishes during a dental appointment. Fluoride helps to remineralize weakened enamel, reducing the risk of cavities and maintaining overall oral health.
