FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions About
Preventative Dental Care
Preventative dental care is one of the best ways to protect your teeth and gums and catch potential problems early. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about maintaining a healthy smile.
Preventative dental care focuses on keeping your teeth and gums healthy and identifying potential problems before they become more serious. Regular dental exams, professional teeth cleanings, X-rays when needed, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and good at-home oral hygiene can all be part of preventative care.
Many patients benefit from a dental exam and professional cleaning about every six months. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits depending on your oral health, history of cavities, gum health, and other individual risk factors.
Even with good brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are difficult to clean at home. Professional dental cleanings remove this buildup and can help reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
During a routine dental visit, your dentist may examine your teeth, gums, bite, and other areas of your mouth for signs of decay, gum disease, damaged restorations, and other concerns. Dental X-rays may also be recommended when necessary to identify problems that cannot be seen during a visual examination.
Not necessarily. The frequency of dental X-rays depends on factors such as your age, oral health, dental history, and risk of developing cavities or other problems. Your dentist will recommend X-rays when they are appropriate for evaluating your dental health.
Yes. Regular dental cleanings and exams can help identify early signs of gum disease and remove plaque and tartar that contribute to gum inflammation. If gum disease progresses, additional treatment such as a deep cleaning or scaling and root planing may be recommended.
Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss or clean between your teeth daily, limit frequent sugary foods and drinks, and maintain regular dental exams and professional cleanings. Your dental team can also recommend an at-home routine based on your individual needs.
