FAQs
What is preventative dental care, and why is it important?
Preventative dental care involves routine practices and treatments to invest in your oral health and wellbeing and prevent further dental issues. It includes regular dental check-ups, professional cleanings and daily oral hygiene practices, like brushing and flossing your teeth. This proactive approach helps detect and address potential problems early on, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease and other dental complications.

How often you schedule preventive dental visits varies depending on individual needs and risk factors. Most dental professionals recommend visiting a dentist at least twice yearly for dental check-ups and cleanings. This routine care helps maintain optimal oral health, detect potential issues early and prevent more serious dental problems from developing.
