What is Preventive Dental Care?
Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and other dental problems. It combines regular dental checkups with good oral hygiene practices to stop dental issues before they develop.
By investing in preventive care, you can save time, money, and discomfort in the long run while keeping your natural teeth for life. Our goal is to help you maintain optimal oral health through education, early detection, and preventive treatments.
