A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions. Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and using evidence based prescription medications for preventing and treating dental disease.
Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, long lasting, painless, confident, and beautiful smile.
