What Is Preventative Dentistry?
Preventative dentistry is the practice of caring for your teeth to keep them healthy. It involves regular dental checkups, cleanings, and treatments designed to prevent the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions. By keeping a regular preventative care routine, you can avoid or lessen the effects of cavities, gingivitis, enamel loss, and periodontitis.
