What is Preventive Dentistry?

As the name implies, preventive dentistry is intended to prevent dental issues from arising. It includes oral care habits on the part of the patient as well as treatments provided by your dentist at Lexington Dental Group.

Oral Health Education

Our team is happy to educate you and your family on good oral health practices to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Oral health education is especially important for young children who are still developing these healthy habits. Steps that patients can take to protect their oral health include:

  • Brushing daily
  • Flossing daily
  • Maintaining a balanced diet
  • Visiting your dentist regularly

Preventive Dentistry Treatments

There are also treatments available at Lexington Dental Group intended to protect your teeth against problems like cavities. One treatment method is with dental sealants. This is usually recommended for young children. The procedure involves placing a protective layer over the back molars to create a barrier between the teeth and harmful substances like bacteria and sugars. Fluoride treatments can also benefit the teeth. When absorbed into the teeth, the mineral fluoride helps to strengthen tooth enamel, which can lower the risk of developing cavities.

Visit our dentistry in Lexington to learn more about how to care for your oral health. We are happy to assist younger patients in developing proper oral hygiene habits if needed. We can also discuss your options in preventive dentistry treatments and make a recommendation on what would best benefit you and your family. You can feel assured that you will receive the best care at our dental office near you, whether you are in need of preventive dentistry or restorative treatment.
