Cleaning and
Prevention
A preventive program is
a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to
preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by
preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases
and conditions.
Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and
a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office by the efforts
of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and
maintain your oral health.
Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and
X-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments
that help protect the teeth.
Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the
key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.
