Core Components of Preventative Dentistry

Preventive dentistry includes essential services like professional cleanings, exams, and digital X-rays to detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, bone loss, or hidden infections before they progress. Fluoride treatments and dental sealants help protect enamel and reduce the risk of decay, while oral cancer screenings offer quick, potentially life-saving early detection. Combined with personalized education on brushing, flossing, nutrition, and healthy habits, preventive care forms the foundation for long-term oral and whole-body wellness.
