PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY
Taking care of your teeth and gums not only keeps your smile bright and your breath clean, it is essential for the preservation of good general health and may help to prevent certain types of oral cancers. Preventive dentistry refers to the combined efforts of you and your dental practice to protect your oral health and prevent gum disease and dental decay, allowing you to keep your natural teeth for your entire life.
- In addition to a rigorous oral hygiene regimen, effective preventive dental care involves both dietary and lifestyle practices on the part of the patient. This includes regular brushing, an integral part of preventive dental care. Brushing prevents the build-up of plaque, an invisible bacterial film that is constantly being produced in the oral cavity.
- The optimum preventive dental practice is to brush at least twice daily, in the morning and at bedtime, with a fluoride toothpaste. Evidence from clinical trials suggests that electric toothbrushes are superior to manual brushes for removing plaque.
