Prophylaxis

Severe dental problems often stem from multiple causes, making prevention key. Regular dental visits can save time, money, and stress. The steps in a preventive care routine include:

• Regular dental check-ups, cleanings, and specialized consultations

• Cavity prevention for children, including sealing and fluoride treatments, and plaque detection

• Fluoride treatments to prevent cavities for both children and adults with sensitive teeth

• Oral hygiene tips, brushing techniques, and diet recommendations (including moderated sugar consumption)

• Deep cleaning, including under-gum curettage for patients with periodontal issues

• Periodontal disease (such as gum bleeding, inflammation, gum recession, and tooth mobility) can be prevented if caught early

• Panoramic X-rays

• Computer tomography (CBCT)

• Digital scanning
