Preventive Dentistry
If we could keep your mouth free of cavities and periodontal
disease, you'd be able to keep your teeth for life, and avoid
costly dental
procedures. It truly pays to prevent problems before they occur,
and that is why all dentists advocate routine cleanings with
regular check-ups. Unfortunately, about 80 percent of the population,
if
not more, is susceptible to periodontal disease, an inflammation
and swelling of the gums that can lead to tooth loss. Tooth
brushing and flossing can go a long way toward removing the harmful bacteria,
but most patients need professional cleanings at least every
six months. For children, we recommend dental sealants, which
protects
their tiny teeth from harmful cavities.
