A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient and dental team to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental disease.

Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet.  It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote healthy habits, restore compromised teeth, and  maintain your oral health.

Prevention includes regular dental examinations, prophylaxes (cleaning), and x-rays that are necessary to complete a diagnostic examination.

Because of early detection, Preventive care helps avoid serious and more costly dental problems, time involved in crisis care and is the key to maintaining a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.
