Preventative Dentistry

Preventative dentistry is extremely important in preserving your natural teeth for as long as possible.

What is preventative dentistry?

Preventative dentistry encompasses regular check-ups with your dentist and appointments with your hygienist, who can advise you on how to care for your teeth at various stages of your life. It’s important not to substitute check-ups with the dentist with visits to the hygienist. Investing in your dental health and hygiene will reduce the risk of you needing complex treatment in the future. We work together to create a bespoke oral health plan to suit your individual needs.

Here, at Family Dental Care Centre we strongly believe in preventative dentistry and promote ways in which you are able to improve and maintain good oral health. We believe it is crucial to prevent problems before they occur and are passionate about working with you to achieve this.

What can I expect from treatment?

Preventative dentistry is focused on ensuring dental disease is prevented where possible. We aim to guide and advise you on what changes may need to be made in order to ensure you are achieving the best possible oral health you can. In order for us to create tailor made oral health plans for you, it is important for us to ask you some detailed questions relating to your social, diet, medical and dental history.

We are asking you these questions so that we are able to identify present factors which may be contributing to dental disease or which can put you at risk of various conditions. Moreover, we want to work with you to provide advice which is suitable for your own circumstances.

We are here to work with you to achieve optimal oral health and a beautiful smile that you are proud of.
