Maintaining Optimum Dental Health
Preventive dentistry is the modern way of reducing the amount of dental treatment necessary to maintain a healthy mouth.
The two major causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease. The more measures taken to prevent or treat these two problems, the more chance people have of keeping their teeth for life.
Dentists achieve oral health by:
- Providing general oral hygiene instruction
- Periodic dental examinations
- Protective dental solutions, including mouth guards and splints
