At Brightside Family Dental, Dr. Manish Mistry focuses on conservative, preventive dental care in Chapel Hill. What does that mean? Great question! In this blog, we’ll explain the basics of preventive dentistry and why it’s so important for your oral health.
As the name suggests, preventive dentistry is focused on identifying and preventing cavities, infected teeth, gum disease, and other common oral health problems. Almost all oral health issues can be prevented with proper care at home and at the dentist’s office.
As a preventive dentist, Dr. Mistry always does his best to provide patients with the excellent care, at-home oral hygiene tips, and information necessary to keep their mouths healthy for the years and decades to come.
Wondering what treatments are usually part of a preventive dentistry plan? Here are just a few of the most common preventive dentistry services.
Your dentist has a role in keeping your mouth healthy, but you do, too! Proper at-home oral hygiene is essential for maintaining your oral health. Brush twice a day using fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, and make healthy lifestyle choices like eating a balanced diet, avoiding sugary drinks, and quitting smoking.
Preventive dentistry saves you time and money, since you can avoid common oral health problems like cavities and infected teeth, and get immediate treatment if Dr. Mistry notices a problem. You also get peace of mind, since you’ll know your mouth is healthy.
Six-month visits are almost always covered by dental insurance, too, so routine preventive care helps you get the most from your dental benefits.
