Preventive dentistry is the foundation of long-term oral health, helping to identify and address dental issues before they become serious problems. At Tsawwassen Place Dental, we believe in proactive care to keep your smile bright and healthy.
The Importance of Preventive Dentistry
Many dental problems, such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss, can be prevented with regular check-ups and good oral hygiene habits. Preventive dentistry includes treatments and practices that maintain oral health and prevent decay or disease progression.
Key Preventive Treatments
- Regular Cleanings & Exams: Biannual dental visits allow us to remove plaque buildup and detect potential problems early.
- Fluoride Treatments: Strengthens enamel and helps protect against cavities.
- Dental Sealants: A protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent decay.
- Oral Cancer Screenings: Early detection of abnormalities can be life-saving.
- Gum Disease Prevention: Professional cleanings help reduce inflammation and the risk of periodontitis.
Daily Habits for Strong Teeth
- Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth.
- Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
- Avoid sugary foods and acidic beverages.
