Preventative dentistry focuses on keeping your teeth and gums healthy in the present to avoid any problems or issues arising in the future.
It is a partnership between you and our team to ensure your natural teeth remain as strong and healthy as possible. The three main premises of preventative dentistry include: regular dental check-ups with one of the Fairford Leys Smile Centre dentists, routine cleaning appointments with our hygienists and a positive daily home care routine.
Limiting the build-up of plaque on the teeth’s surface and gum line helps to reduce the risks of decay and gum disease – one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss in the UK.
To ensure you give your teeth the best possible chance, we recommend brushing at least twice a day, investing in an electronic toothbrush, flossing at least once a day and using dentist-approved products including fluoride mouthwashes and toothpastes.
Examples of preventative dentistry services we provide include:
- Professional cleaning to remove plaque from the teeth and gum line
- Fluoride varnishes to protect against decay
- Fissure sealants on weakened back teeth
- Restorative treatments such as fillings, inlays, onlays and dental crowns to give vulnerable teeth strength and protection
Looking after your teeth at home and within our practice is essential to prevent future problems and is important for all the family.
