About preventative dentistry
Prevention is the most effective way to keep teeth for life. Regular check-ups, cleans, fluoride, sealants and good habits at home all reduce the chance of decay and gum disease.
We tailor prevention to your risk. Someone who has had a lot of decay may need more frequent visits and extra fluoride; someone with healthy teeth may need less.
