What is preventative care?
When you visit us here at SmileBright Dental, you will find we are all passionate about preventative dentistry and this is because we know it’s the very best way to ensure your smile lasts longer.
Preventative dentistry refers to the systematic review and maintenance of oral health to mitigate oral health risks and issues and to combat any at an early stage with minimal intervention. Our preventative dental care treatments, also more commonly known as check-up and cleans includes:
- Professional scale and clean
- Dietary advice
- Oral hygiene education
- Updated clinical photos & radiographs.
It’s never been more important to look after your teeth and gums, as an increasing number of clinical studies have shown links between oral health and general health, so protecting your smile could help protect your overall health. Preventative care is also far more cost-effective in the long, it allows for early intervention, which is normally cheaper and does not involve any timely procedures that are more painful.
The good news is that it’s never too late to begin looking after your teeth and we have helped many people who felt unable to visit a dentist for years. Starting with good oral health habits is a critical step to help the longevity of your teeth and help reduce any stresses you may have of the dentist by starting on a preventative basis.
