Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is a proactive approach to oral health care that focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums and preventing dental problems before they occur. This branch of dentistry emphasizes regular dental check-ups, professional cleanings, and patient education to help individuals develop and maintain good oral hygiene habits. The primary goal is to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and other dental issues that can lead to more serious and costly treatments if left unchecked.
