What is preventive dentistry? Primarily, to prevent a number of dental diseases - caries, pulpitis and other periodontal diseases. In other words, preventive dentistry is a complex of therapeutic measures, preventing the accumulation of pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity and their detrimental effect on the health of teeth and gums.
Two kinds of factors affect oral health and dental health: external and internal. External factors are: composition of the water used, climate, soil features, social conditions, food. Intrinsic factors include hereditary factor, age, human anatomical features.
But how can we protect our teeth from the above factors??
Everything is quite simple. Brushing your teeth is part of our culture 2 times a day (in the morning and in the evening). Without this hygienic procedure, we are not comfortable.. Visiting the dentist at least twice a year should also become part of modern culture.. It will save you time and money. Treatment of one tooth will cost 2-3 times more expensive, than a preventive visit to the doctor. And that's not to mention dentures., where you will need to visit the dentist several times.
A preventive visit to the dentist will take no more than 30 minutes and save you and your child from developing serious dental problems.
Over this time, You will be subjected to the following procedures as needed.:
Professional hygiene — this procedure will remove plaque from the teeth, which is an accumulation of food debris and pathogenic bacteria, thereby preventing the appearance and development of caries.
Teeth fluoridation — protects enamel from caries, allows you to treat the initial stages of caries, and also reduces the hypersensitivity of tooth enamel.
Fissure sealing — alignment of deep pits on the surface of chewing teeth, dangerous development of caries in children.
Consultation — on proper nutrition ( in terms of preserving teeth), oral care, modern hygiene products.
