What is Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dentistry is a branch of oral healthcare that focuses on maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing dental problems before they arise. It involves a proactive approach to dental care, emphasizing regular checkups, cleanings and patient education. The core principle of preventive dentistry is to stop oral issues at their earliest stages or, ideally, prevent them from occurring altogether.
Preventive dentistry encompasses a range of practices, including regular dental visits, proper at-home oral hygiene routines, and lifestyle choices that promote good oral health. These practices aim to combat common dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, cavities and bad breath. Our dentists and hygienists play a crucial role in guiding patients towards optimal oral health by providing preventive services and advice.

Benefits of Preventive Care
There are many people who only visit the dentist when they have a problem. However, regular preventive care offers many benefits, and we strongly encourage you to continue to make and keep appointments with our dentists and team every six months as recommended. Benefits of preventive care include:
- Saves Money: Preventive dentistry can save you a significant amount of money in the long run. By addressing dental issues early, you avoid costly and complex treatments that may become necessary if problems are left untreated.
- Prevents Pain and Discomfort: Regular checkups and cleanings help detect dental problems early, reducing the likelihood of experiencing pain, discomfort or emergency situations related to oral health.
- Maintains a Beautiful Smile: Preventive care can help you maintain a beautiful, healthy smile by preventing the development of unsightly dental issues like cavities, stained teeth or gum disease.
- Improves Overall Health: Oral health is closely linked to overall health. Preventive dentistry can reduce the risk of systemic health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and respiratory issues, as poor oral health can exacerbate these conditions.
- Promotes Longevity: A healthy mouth contributes to a longer life. Preventive care allows you to keep your natural teeth for a lifetime, enhancing your quality of life as you age.
