Preventive dentistry, as the word suggests, refers to any activity that helps prevent oral health problems. The aim is to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth as healthy as possible to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other problems. It is a combination of regular dental check-ups and practicing good habits such as brushing and flossing your teeth. Dental care begins in early childhood and continues throughout life. Active dental care helps you maintain healthy teeth and gums, which means you are less likely to lose your teeth from gum disease or tooth decay. Serious dental problems can be avoided with proactive prevention.
Good oral health not only maintains your smile but also protects you from several other severe diseases. The following are the benefits of preventive dentistry.
