Frequently Asked Questions

What is preventative dentistry?

Preventative dentistry is maintaining your oral health through regular cleanings, checkups, and good at-home care to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other common dental concerns, keeping your whole mouth healthy.

Preventative dentistry aims to protect teeth and gums from decay and disease, reducing the need for extensive treatments in the future. Regular care helps maintain a healthy, long-lasting smile.

Most people should visit the dentist for a routine exam and cleaning every six months. However, depending on your needs, we may recommend more frequent visits.

Cleanings from your dentist remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Fluoride strengthens enamel, helps prevent cavities, and even reverses early signs of tooth decay, making it especially beneficial for children and patients prone to cavities.

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They create a smooth barrier that seals out bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities. Sealants are especially beneficial for children, teens, and those prone to tooth decay, as they help protect hard-to-reach grooves and crevices where plaque builds up.

Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, bad breath, and gum recession. Early detection through regular checkups helps prevent progression.

We recommend brushing twice daily with your favourite fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, using mouthwash, and maintaining regular dental checkups for optimal oral health. We may recommend certain products, such as high fluoride toothpaste, or Carifree treatment rinses depending on your needs.

No, preventative dentistry is essential for all ages. Regular care helps maintain strong, healthy teeth and prevents costly dental issues in the future.
