Preventative dental care can help each member of your family maintain a beautiful, healthy smile by safeguarding
against oral diseases, like dental decay, gum disease, or periodontal disease. Our goal is to prevent these diseases
from happening in the first place. Our approach to preventive dental care includes routine gentle dental cleanings
and check-ups as well as education and advice that can help every member of your family practice good oral
hygiene at home. We recommend routine preventive dental care visits twice times a year.

Dental Sealants:
Dental sealants are used as a means of protecting the difficult-to-clean occlusal surfaces of the teeth from decay.
A dental sealant is a plastic like coating that is applied over the occlusal pits and grooves of the teeth. Sealants
cover the occlusal pits and fissures where decay-causing bacteria can live.

Fluoride:
Fluoride is the primary weapon with which to combat dental carries foe more that 40 years. It slows demineralization and enhances remineralisation of tooth surfaces. Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in
food and water. A supply of both systemic and topical fluoride must be available throughout life to applied the
maximum cavity-prevention benefits. Prescription-strength fluorides are applied in the dental office. Non-prescription-strengths are sold over the counter for at-home use.

Composite Resin (white fillings):
A composite filling is a tooth-coloured plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth. composites are also
used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the colour of teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.
Aesthetics’ are the main advantage of composites, since dentists can blend shades to create a colour nearly
identical to that of the actual tooth. Composites bond to the tooth to support the remaining tooth structure, which
helps to prevent breakage and insulate the tooth from excessive temperature changes.

Brushing Techniques:
at-home procedures performed by patients that help ward off disease include regular and proper brushing, flossing and sometimes use of mouth rinses and at-home fluoride applications.
