Cleanings 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.
