Frequently Asked Questions

What is preventative dentistry and why is it important?

Preventative dentistry focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums to avoid dental problems like cavities and gum disease. It helps you save time, discomfort, and money by catching issues early.

How often should I visit the dentist for a preventative check-up?

Most people benefit from a dental check-up and cleaning every six months. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your individual oral health needs.

What does a professional dental cleaning involve?

A dental cleaning removes plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing can’t eliminate. This helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and keeps your mouth feeling fresh.

Can dental sealants prevent cavities?

Dental sealants provide a protective barrier on the chewing surfaces of molars, especially in children, to reduce the risk of cavities in hard-to-clean areas.

Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding excessive sugary snacks and drinks all support good oral health.
