Are you ready to book your routine dental appointment?

Do you only do to the dentist when you have a toothache, significant discomfort or when you have found a cavity? Preventive dentistry can go a long way in keeping your smile healthy and strong. Prevention is better than cure. As such, it is important to visit your dentist regularly so they can check the health of your teeth, gum and mouth.

Prevent cavities

Even if you follow a regular brushing and flossing routine, it is still hard for you to reach every area of your mouth. Unfortunately, this results in a build-up of plaque and tartar that, if left unchecked leads to cavities. Preventative dentistry strategies help you prevent cavities from developing. As experts, we are able to offer professional cleaning and treatments that will protect your teeth from decay.

Prevent gum disease

Gum disease, also called periodontal disease are caused by plaque build-up which leads to inflammation of the gums. This eventually leads to swelling of the gums and pockets around teeth which you cannot clean without the help of dental tools. If left untreated, this can result in tooth loss and further problems.

Preventing gum disease is simple when you visit the dentist on a regular basis. We will be able to remove tartar and plaque buildup, control any infections and fight off disease-causing bacteria.

Eliminate bad breath

Not only is bad breath unpleasant but is usually an indication of a deeper dental problem. It can be caused by factors including dry mouth, tooth decay or infection. Experts are able to identify the root cause of bad breath and provide solutions to effectively treat it.

Improve your smile

Preventing dental problems is not just about saving your teeth from extractions and tooth loss. Preventing dental issues can go a long way in improving the appearance of your smile. Regular teeth cleaning will keep discolouration at bay, and remove any build-up that may lead to decay and deterioration.
