What is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems before they occur. It includes a variety of services and treatments designed to help patients of all ages avoid tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues. Some common preventive dentistry services include regular dental cleanings and checkups, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and oral cancer screenings. Preventive dentistry also involves patient education and guidance on proper oral hygiene practices, as well as lifestyle habits that can impact oral health, such as diet and tobacco use. By practicing good preventive dentistry habits, patients can help reduce the risk of dental problems and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for a lifetime.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” -Benjamin Franklin.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer screenings are an important part of preventive dentistry that can help identify and treat oral cancer in its early stages. During an oral cancer screening, a Kind Dental professional will examine the mouth and surrounding tissues for signs of abnormal growths or lesions. These screenings are typically painless, non-invasive, and can be performed as part of a routine dental checkup.

Oral cancer is a serious condition that can be life-threatening if left untreated. However, if caught early, it is often treatable with a high success rate. That’s why regular oral cancer screenings are so important. By detecting oral cancer early, patients can get the treatment they need to overcome the disease and maintain good oral health. We take oral cancer screenings seriously and include them as a routine part of our preventive dentistry services.

Fluoride and Dental Sealants

Fluoride and dental sealants are often part of preventive dentistry, as they can help prevent tooth decay and other dental problems.

Fluoride is a mineral that helps to strengthen tooth enamel and protect teeth against decay. Fluoride treatments are typically applied to the teeth in the form of a gel or varnish during a routine dental checkup. Fluoride can also be found in many toothpastes and mouth rinses. By increasing the strength of tooth enamel, fluoride can help prevent cavities and other dental problems.

At Kind Dental, kindness is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that everyone deserves compassionate, personalized dental care, which is why we prioritize the needs of the whole family.
