Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is preventive dentistry?

Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and avoiding dental issues before they develop. It includes regular check-ups, cleans, fluoride treatments, fissure sealants, and patient education to reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other concerns.
2. How often should I book a preventive dental appointment?

For most patients, a check-up and clean every six months is recommended. However, some individuals with higher risk factors may benefit from more frequent visits. Your dentist will tailor a schedule based on your oral health needs.
3. Are preventive treatments suitable for children?

Yes. Preventive dentistry is essential for children to support healthy development and build lifelong oral hygiene habits. Treatments may include fissure sealants, fluoride applications, dietary advice, and education on brushing and flossing techniques.

4. Can preventive care eliminate the need for future dental work?

While preventive care significantly reduces the risk of needing more complex treatment, it cannot guarantee complete avoidance. However, early detection and management of issues usually lead to simpler, more cost-effective solutions.
