What Is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and preventing dental problems before they develop. From routine cleanings to protective treatments and patient education, we aim to keep your smile healthy and minimize the risk of decay, gum disease, and other dental concerns.

Benefits of Preventive Dental Care

Early Detection of Problems: Regular check-ups help identify issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer before they become serious.
Reduced Need for Extensive Treatment: Preventive care can help you avoid fillings, root canals, extractions, and other major procedures.
Lower Long-Term Costs: Investing in prevention can save you money by avoiding complex and costly dental work.
Improved Overall Health: Oral health is closely linked to systemic health. Good dental hygiene supports a healthy heart, brain, and immune system.
Fresher Breath and Brighter Smiles: Clean teeth and healthy gums look great and feel great too.

Our Preventive Dentistry Services

At Unident Dental Group, we offer a full range of preventive services tailored to every stage of life:

Dental Exams and Cleanings: Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone can’t, while exams help us monitor oral health over time.
Digital X-Rays: Low-radiation imaging allows us to detect hidden issues such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, or impacted teeth.
Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride strengthens enamel, helps prevent cavities, and is especially beneficial for children and adults prone to decay.
Dental Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent decay. They are great for kids and teens.
Oral Cancer Screenings: Early detection is key. For your peace of mind, we include oral cancer screenings during routine check-ups.
Gum Disease Monitoring and Prevention: We monitor gum health closely and offer guidance and treatment if signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease appear.
Patient Education: We empower you with knowledge about brushing, flossing, diet, and habits that affect your oral health.
