Importance of Preventive Dental Care

8/30/2020

0 Comments

 

An effective preventive dental care is a combination of your daily oral hygiene and chairside treatments provided by your health care professional. As a patient, you should not only be diligent in cleaning your teeth, but also you should be eager to attend dental appointments to maintain optimal health.

Routine dental visits allow your dentist to monitor for developments that may be related to other health issues. This can help him detect poor nutrition and hygiene, improper bite alignment, and growth and development problems. It will also prevent you from cavities and gum disease. Aside from routine checkups, you should get the necessary treatments to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Prophylaxis

Prophylaxis (professional teeth cleaning) is necessary in removing the plaque and tartar in your mouth. Brushing and flossing are not enough to get rid of the bacteria. You need the help of your Plano TX dentist to wipe away the bacteria that can damage your pearly whites.

Sealants

Sealants protect your teeth from tooth decay. A clear plastic coating is applied on the chewing areas of your teeth. It’s a quick, easy, and inexpensive treatment that can save you from pain and complex treatments in the future.

Mouth guard

If you and your family member are fond of playing sports and other recreational activities such as soccer, basketball, volleyball, boxing, and martial arts, you should wear mouth guards to protect you against oral injury. Your dentist recommends the use of a custom-made mouth guard called Under Armour Performance Mouthwear that provides extra protection.
​
Dr. John M. Hucklebridge of Plano Smile Studio also offers advice on oral care, proper nutrition, and other tips to keep your smile healthy and bright. He creates a personalized treatment plan for you that suit your needs and preferences. Sit down for a consultation with your Plano TX dentist. Contact us to make an appointment.
