The Importance of Preventive Dental Care
Preventive dentistry is essential for maintaining a healthy mouth and reducing the need for costly and invasive treatments. Benefits of preventive care include:
- Early Detection of Issues – Regular check-ups help catch cavities, gum disease, and other concerns before they worsen.
- Lower Dental Costs – Preventing problems is more cost-effective than treating advanced conditions.
- Better Overall Health – Good oral health is linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic health issues.
- Fresher Breath & Whiter Teeth – Regular cleanings and good oral hygiene prevent bad breath and keep teeth looking their best.

Frequently Asked Questions
What services are included in general and preventive dentistry?
How often should I visit the dentist for a checkup?
Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for a cleaning and exam. However, some may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health needs.
Why are dental cleanings important?
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. They help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while keeping your smile bright and healthy.
What is a dental sealant, and who needs it?
A dental sealant is a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. It helps prevent cavities and is especially beneficial for children and teens, though adults can benefit too.
How can I maintain good oral health at home?
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, eat a balanced diet, and avoid tobacco. Pairing good home care with regular dental visits ensures long-term oral health.
