It is possible to avoid a lot of common dental issues and problems with early detection and prevention. Preventive dentistry focuses on caring for your teeth, so they last you a lifetime.
Preventive dentistry is the practice of taking care of your teeth and mouth to maintain health and wellbeing.
Taking care of your teeth can help prevent cavities, gum disease, and sensitivity that could lead to pain and tooth loss later. Preventative dentistry focuses on maintaining dental health and minimizing the risk of disease, decay, or damage to your teeth.
The Importance of Preventive Dentistry
Did you know that gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss? The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that half of Americans over age 30 suffer from gum disease.
Regular preventative care can make a difference; through early detection and intervention, your dentist can curb gum disease damage with deep cleanings that includes scaling away plaque and tartar.

Healthy Smiles for Life
Wondering why good oral hygiene is so important? As you probably know, bodily systems are interrelated and connected. When something runs afoul with one, others suffer severe consequences. When oral health declines, infection can set in. Dental decay is an infection that can rapidly spread if left untreated.
If you allow plaque to accumulate on your teeth it can become tartar, which creates inflammation. Inflammation in your mouth can lead to other areas of your body becoming inflamed as well. This could result in serious health consequences such as heart attack, stroke, preterm labor, and more.

What Preventative Dental Care Entails
