Preventive dentistry is the process of treating teeth, gums and the oral cavity in a way that keeps them clean, strong and protected. The aim is to create a conducive dental environment in order to avoid the development of cavity, tartar, bacteria and tooth and gum diseases. Preventive dentistry is done even before any sign or symptom of toothache, discoloration and unstableness is present. The program will most likely involve a number of procedures after the regular dental checkup. |

During the dental checkup, the dentist will assess and evaluate the patient's teeth and discuss how to retouch or recare to thoroughly maintain and clean them. Some common procedures are tooth scaling and polishing which will scrape off deposits of calculus and plaque which can break down the integrity of the teeth as well as supporting tissues and structures. Hygiene therapy is a vital element of preventive dentistry since the cleanliness of natural teeth will result to its increased longevity and increased strength. |

Preventive dentistry also covers other types as well including artificial teeth and restorations or fillings. Treatment will revolve around cleaning the restorations and evident gaps in between fillings to prevent decay from developing that can damage the tooth nerve. If plaque and tartar accumulates extensively, the teeth will weaken which can also result to fracture or total loss which is why every part needs to be thoroughly treated. Filling may have to be replaced to seal the pulp and protect the root canal. |
