Preventive Dentistry

Your teeth are the strongest bone in your body and work very hard every minute of the day.

However, once they sustain a certain amount of wear, damage or neglect, the only option is extraction. Preventative dentistry is essential in preserving your natural teeth for as long as possible.

What does preventative dentistry encompass?

Preventative dentistry is an umbrella term to describe a variety of treatments and interventions, designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Regular check-ups with the dentist and hygienist play a vital role in flagging up any potential problems that you might not have noticed at home. Treatments such as regular scale and polish cleanings ensure your teeth remain plaque and tartar-free, keeping gum disease at bay.

What are the benefits of preventative dentistry?

• Preventative dentistry allows your dentist and hygienist to identify any potential problems early and prevent them from requiring more complex and costly treatment.
