Preventive

Most think of preventive dentistry as a mere means of ensuring that your oral health is being taken care of. However, what most fail to appreciate is how it can potentially save you from paying thousands of bucks in restorative dental care and treatment of other health conditions in the future. This mechanism is not only about daily home practices to make sure dental diseases are prevented. This involves regular intervention from dental professionals as well. Blue Summit Dental Group is your partner in preventive dentistry. We will ensure your teeth remain as healthy as possible. We will take care of your pearly whites to help prevent teeth problems, gum diseases, and bad breath. We know how a beautiful and healthy smile can make a lasting impression. We can give that to you and your family.

There Is More to it Than Regularly Brushing and Flossing

It cannot be denied how regularly brushing and flossing the teeth can help maintain your oral health. However, doing that alone is not enough for total oral health. There is a need to have preventive dentistry with the assistance of reliable dental professionals. Doing this at the earliest possible opportunity is best. You can bring your kid to our clinic as soon as the first tooth comes out to establish an early comprehensive oral health care routine. If you are already an adult, it is not yet too late to begin taking really good care of your teeth.

The rule of thumb is to go for regular dental visits even if you are not experiencing pain. A lot of dental conditions are painless, so you do not know what is happening until significant damage has been done. Dental check-ups should be done every six months to see best results. However, this should be done more often if you are prone to oral diseases.

Dental cleanings should be done every six months as well, to take away plaque and stains that brushing alone cannot remove. This is also an opportune time to check for signs of tooth decay. Preventive dentistry also includes fluoride treatments, use of mouthguards, and getting orthodontics.

Why it Is Important

Having good dental hygiene can decrease the risk of dental problems like gingivitis, cavities, and periodontitis among others. This will then minimize the risk of underlying health conditions due to poor oral health. This includes cancer, heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, and osteoporosis.

If you are pregnant, it is even more important to take care of your dental health. Poor oral health among pregnant women has led to low birth weight and premature birth in the worst case.
