Preventative dental care involves being proactive and taking the steps to maintain good dental health by preventing problems from occurring in the first place. Preventative dental care is a cooperative effort between the patient & the professional dental team. It involves maintaining a daily oral health care regimen & seeing your dentist & hygienist for a dental checkup and a
Carmichael teeth cleaning.
Preventative care includes dental checkups and a
Carmichael teeth cleaning. This is very important in maintaining good health. There have been recent studies done that have demonstrated that oral hygiene does not just affect your oral health; it affects your general health as well. A good preventative dental care program is created to prevent oral health problems from occurring. It allows your team of professionals at Upen J Patel, DDS to diagnose and treat oral health issues early. Early diagnosis allows for early treatment and often better treatment options. This aids to prevent problems from progressing & further problems from developing. A good preventative care plan is essential for your well-being and is a team effort between the patient & dental care team. The cooperation of you and your professional dental team is needed to create success. Therefore, when you choose a dental practice; you need to select one that has a solid preventative dental care program in place, like ours at Upen J Patel, DDS. A good preventative program stresses the importance of patient education. It’s one in which the dental team teaches the patients on good oral hygiene practices. The patient should visit the dental office regularly for a checkup and a professional teeth cleaning. Patients should also follow the instructions of the dental team and also should practice proper at-home oral health care in between those visits. Proper oral hygiene consists of brushing your teeth and tongue and flossing well twice a day.
If it’s been more than six months since your last dental visit, contact our office. We’ll gladly set up your dental checkup and
Carmichael teeth cleaning.
