About Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is the practice of caring for your teeth to keep them healthy. This helps to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more.

There are many forms of preventive dentistry, such as daily brushing and dental cleanings.

These practices are designed to ensure that teeth are clean, strong, and white. Children should be taught proper oral hygiene at an early age.

When this occurs, infection and inflammation develop and cause what we know as toothache, making a root canal procedure necessary to save the tooth.
