Preventative dentistry is the practice of keeping your teeth and gums healthy through regular visits to the dentist and proper oral hygiene. At Eastwood, our preventative dentistry services are designed to help you maintain your dental health and avoid costly treatments down the line. We provide a variety of services, from routine cleanings and exams to more advanced treatments for gum disease, that can help keep your teeth healthy for years to come.
One of the most important aspects of preventative dentistry is regular check-ups. At Eastwood, we make sure our patients receive comprehensive exams every six months so that any potential issues with their teeth or gums can be identified early on. During these visits, we use specialized tools such as digital x-rays to get a detailed look at your mouth and any underlying problems you may have. This allows us to diagnose any dental issues before they become serious enough to require more complicated treatments down the road.
In addition to check-ups, another important part of preventative dentistry is proper oral hygiene practices at home. We recommend brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing once per day in order to remove plaque buildup from between your teeth that could lead to cavities or gum disease if left unchecked. We also suggest using a tongue scraper or mouthwash on a regular basis in order to reduce bacteria levels in your mouth and keep bad breath at bay.
At Eastwood Dental Care Center we also offer special preventive care treatments such as sealants or fluoride varnishes which protect against cavities by creating an additional barrier around vulnerable areas on your enamel where decay can occur most easily (such as molars). If you already have signs of gum disease then scaling/root planning may be recommended; this treatment involves removing plaque buildup beneath the gum line in order minimize inflammation while helping preserve bone structure around teeth roots which helps stabilize them over time (preventing tooth loss).
Finally, our experienced team also provides dietary consultations which involve discussing food choices that will best benefit one’s dental health; this includes providing helpful tips for limiting sugary snacks/drinks or choosing foods rich in calcium/vitamins C & D which all play an integral role when it comes maintaining strong enamel & overall oral wellbeing!
At Eastwood Dental Care Center we strive hard every day provide top quality preventive care services so that our patients enjoy beautiful smiles well into old age! Our team is committed giving each patient personalized attention while educating them about best practices for maintaining good oral hygiene habits at home – ensuring healthier mouths now & long into future!
