Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry is concerned with preventing people from developing dental problems in the future through current, proper dental care maintenance. It is highly recommended to have a 6-monthly check-up in order to detect any dental problems — including but not limited to signs of decay or gum disease — as early as possible, before they become more complicated and require more involved treatment. It will not only save your teeth but also treatment costs.
Your Preventive Check-Up Involves
- Comprehensive oral examination by your dentist
- A set of x-rays
- Cleaning, polishing and fluoride application to maintain oral hygiene
- Assessment of gum health
- Oral hygiene assessment and instruction from your dentist (teeth brushing, flossing)
