The Importance of Preventive Dentistry
Contributed by DentalROIAs the name suggests, preventive dentistry refers to the branch of dentistry that focuses on, well, preventive care! It is the type of dental care that helps you keep a healthy mouth. It is considered preventive care because the more you maintain healthy oral health habits at home and are consistent with dental checkups, the more likely you are to prevent oral health issues such as gum disease, cavities, tooth decay, and a wide variety of other dental health problems.
