Preventative dentistry – Regular preventive dental appointments are an important step in your oral health routine. They help reduce the risk of periodontal disease while helping to keep your smile beautiful and healthy. Preventive dentistry can also result in less extensive and less expensive treatment for conditions that may develop over time.

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a minimum of two dental exams and cleanings each year to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. This gives your dental professionals an opportunity to look for signs of trouble before they have time to progress further. We may recommend more or less frequent appointments depending on your age, lifestyle, risk factors and general oral and dental health.

Patients play an important role in preventive dentistry efforts as well. Self-care, such as twice-daily brushing and daily flossing, is essential in ensuring that your teeth and mouth stay healthy.
