preventive dentistry

Teeth maintenance practice

Preventive dentistry is dental care focused on maintaining oral health rather than treating problems after they develop.

It includes regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and patient education about brushing and flossing.

The goal is to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues before they require more invasive treatment.
