What is Preventive Dental Care?

Preventive dental care is the exercise of caring for your teeth to keep them healthy. This helps to keep away from cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more.

Why it is important to have preventive dental checkups?

Your teeth can last longer and healthier if it’s been taken care of properly. With proper dental care, you can reduce the risk of getting cavities, gum disease like gingivitis(bleeding gums), bad breath and other dental problems. Preventive dental care can reduce the risk of secondary problems caused by poor oral health like toothache, dental abscess and loss of teeth.
