Preventing oral health issues is an important part of dentistry. Through prevention, you can maintain a healthy smile for life and save a lot of hassle in the dental chair later.
Prevention with your dentist includes:
- Regular dental check-ups
- Regular teeth cleans
- Oral cancer screenings
- Periodic x-rays
- Life advice on dental habits
Preventive Dentistry in Oatley, NSW
Regular check-ups help the dentist diagnose and treat oral health issues before they become more serious. Teeth cleans eliminate plaque and tartar, which can lead to oral infections, tooth decay and even gum disease.
Your Oatley dentist may also talk to you about fissure sealants if you have a strong history of cavities and fluoride treatments to strengthen your enamel.
Of course, you play an important role in your dental health by brushing and flossing regularly and talking to your dentist if you notice changes in your oral health—tooth sensitivity, spots on teeth or sores that don’t heal.
