Partner with Denver Place Dentistry for Your Preventive Dental Care
Preventive dentistry is dental care that helps maintain good oral health. It’s a combination of regular dental check-ups along with developing good habits like brushing and flossing. Taking care of your teeth starts early in childhood and extends throughout the course of your life.
REGULAR CHECK-UPS WITH YOUR DENTIST
Regular exams are an important part of maintaining your oral health. We’ll carefully inspect every aspect of your oral health during your regular visits, taking into account any changes or signs of damage at the earliest stages possible so that treatment is easy and fast.
DAILY BRUSHING, FLOSSING, AND MOUTHWASH
To maintain a healthy smile, brush your teeth twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to remove food particles and plaque. Don’t forget to floss daily to clean between your teeth and along the gumline where your brush can’t reach. Adding mouthwash can provide extra protection and freshness.
BALANCED DIET
Eating a balanced diet, and trying to avoid extra-sugary treats can help maintain your health. Nutritious foods such as raw vegetables, plain yogurt, cheese, or fruit can help keep your smile healthy.
FLUORIDE
Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, helps prevent tooth decay by making the surface of your teeth stronger and more resistant to cavities.
SEALANTS
Ask your dentist about dental sealants, protective plastic coatings that can be applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay often starts.
MOUTHGUARDS/NIGHTGUARDS
Custom designed mouthguards and nightguards are made of flexible plastic and molded to fit the shape of your teeth. They may help reduce the symptoms of teeth grinding, clenching and/or jaw pain at night and protect your teeth while playing sports.
What are the benefits of preventive dentistry?
- Lowers risk for developing tooth decay, gum disease, and more serious dental problems.
- Helps promote good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing.
- Early identification of dental problems may help minimize treatment and cost.
- Enables your dentist to do a full exam of your mouth, jaw, neck, etc. to identify any related problems.
- Helps reduce dental problems related to some chronic medical conditions. Diabetes, osteoporosis, certain cancers, and eating disorders can all have an effect on dental and oral health. For people with chronic conditions, regular preventive dental care is an important part of whole person health.
