Preventative Dental
Because prevention is better than a cure.

What is preventative dentistry?
Preventative dentistry is the practice of providing and performing dental services and treatment to prevent oral health care issues at a precautionary level.
Because prevention is better than cure, it’s important for patients to care for their oral health by educating themselves about ways to avoid cavities, gum disease and infection.
A half-yearly oral hygiene appointment is recommended to identify any areas of concern and help stop an oral health condition in its tracks.
