Preventive dentistry highlights the importance of ongoing hygiene systems and daily routines to prevent tooth decay and other dental diseases and conditions. Effective preventive dentistry combines at-home oral care by patients with chairside treatments and counseling by the trained staff of the Stockton Family & Cosmetic Dentistry.
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a minimum of two dental checkups each year for professional cleaning and management of any developing conditions.
The benefits of preventive dentistry
Considering that oral health is linked to overall health, preventive dentistry is important to your overall well being. Oral diseases can interfere with eating, speaking, daily activities and self-esteem.
In children, severe decay can affect growth and development. Preventive dentistry can result in less extensive and less expensive treatment for any dental conditions that may develop, and help you keep your natural teeth for a lifetime.
