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.
