Preventive Dentistry
Preventive Dentistry is the most important aspect of dental care and has been the policy of this practice for many years. We believe people should keep their teeth for a lifetime. Regular visits to both dentist and hygienist by many of our patients, has enabled them to eliminate dental problems.
Decay may or may not cause discomfort; even though it doesn’t hurt, the tooth is deteriorating.
Using higher magnification and powerful lighting, it is easier to detect decay at an early stage to prevent excessive tooth damage. When cavities are small, they are much easier and less expensive to treat.
Early tooth decay does not tend to show many physical signs. Sometimes the tooth looks healthy, but your dentist will be able to see from an x-ray whether you have any decay under the enamel, any possible infections in the roots, or any bone loss around the tooth.
