Preventive Dentistry is our goal for every client. It involves daily care, good nutrition, and periodic check-ups with cleanings and x-rays, which are needed to maintain good dental health. These appointments are important as they combine radiographic and clinical examination to diagnose anything that may need addressing before it becomes a bigger problem. Preventive dentistry may not be where we start with every patient, but it’s were we like to finish.
The ADA recommends the following for good oral hygiene:
- Brush your teeth twice a day with an ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste. Replace your toothbrush every three or four months or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won’t do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
- Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay–causing bacteria still linger between teeth where toothbrush bristles can’t reach. This helps remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and under the gum line.
- Eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks.
- Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams.
