Europa House, West Street, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 1DDPreventive dentistry is simply the steps we take to ensure the long-term health of your teeth and overall oral health. We promote preventive dentistry because it can help reduce the likelihood of tooth decay and gum disease, which in turn can help prevent the loss of teeth and the need for intervention.
First and foremost, preventive dentistry starts at home. The steps you take at home to look after your oral health are the most important in a preventive care routine and should include the following:
Other than the care you take at home, the most important aspect of preventive dentistry is visiting us regularly here at the practice. We recommend regular check-ups – anywhere from every three to 18 months depending on the individual patient and examinations so that we can keep a close eye on your overall oral health and spot any issues that might arise in the early stages.
We also recommend visiting one of our dedicated and highly skilled dental hygienists regularly. Our hygienists will be able to remove any build-up of plaque or tartar that may have occurred, as well as give the teeth a thorough, professional clean. They’re also trained to be able to spot signs of gum disease, and can help you create an at-home care routine that works for you.
