Preventive dentistry includes two aspects of dental care, both performed to help you avoid dental disease and to catch it in its early, most treatable stages.
In part, it is the oral hygiene care performed by you and your family at home. Regular brushing, flossing and rinsing are all important in maintaining strong, healthy teeth and gums.Today, there are so many different options for tooth brushes, tooth paste, floss and rinses, let our team of specialists guide you through the best tooth care options and preventative approach for you. No two mouths are exactly alike and each will respond differently to different products.
At our Canandaigua dental office, the objective is to stop the development of cavities, gum disease and other oral diseases or to find them at an early stage. Our team of hygienists are looking for early signs of periodontal disease, tooth decay and other changes in the soft tissue of the mouth that could lead to oral cancer. The sooner we can catch signs of cavities or other mouth diseases, the easier it is to cure the problem.
In young children, we may recommend tooth sealants to help prevent cavities as well as flouride treatments. We can help all ages with smoke cessation and other advice that will help improve your whole health. In teens and young adults, a wisdom tooth evaluation can help avoid infection and pain.
We recommend your family visits our Canandaigua dental office for regular teeth cleanings and oral exams.
