Preventative dentistry is designed with the patient in mind and is a core part of our mission here at Alban City Dental. Rather than merely providing reactive treatments when issues arise, our aim is to prevent issues from arising in the first place. We’ll keep a close eye on your overall oral health and hygiene. We can only do this in collaboration with our patients. It’s the combination of your dedication to everyday oral care and our guidance to reduce the need for interventionist treatments and maintain your oral health well into the future.
Why are regular dental check-ups important?
Regular check-ups can help prevent problems from occurring. With regular examinations and check-ups, we can monitor your overall oral health. We can also provide full health screenings, including mouth cancer screenings at every check-up. Our accomplished team will be able to offer advice on at-home care, diet, and hygiene and ensure your gums are in tip-top condition. If treatment is required, we’ll be able to spot it early. We’ll ensure that whatever intervention necessary is achieved in the most minimally-invasive manner possible.
Should I book regular dental hygiene appointments as well as a dental check-up?
Yes. Plaque build-up on your teeth can lead to cavities and the need for fillings or other restorations. With regular dental hygiene appointments, our highly skilled team will be able to remove this plaque build-up. We’ll ensure tooth decay is kept at bay wherever possible.
Do regular dental check-ups replace the need for at-home care?
No. Your at-home oral hygiene is just as important! Our team will offer advice, hints, and tips on how to properly take care of your oral health and hygiene at home. We’ll help build a routine that works for you and your oral health and history.
Do my diet and lifestyle contribute to my dental health?
Yes. Diet and lifestyle play a big part when it comes to preventative dentistry. If you consume a lot of sugar, smoke, or drink alcohol, you might be contributing to poor oral health. Our team might recommend ways in which changes in your diet and lifestyle. It could help lead to better oral health and a happier smile overall.
