We all have teeth - and we all want to keep them for life! Preventive dentistry is the modern way of reducing the amount of dental treatment necessary to maintain a healthy mouth.

The two major causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease. The better we prevent or deal with these two problems, the more chance people have of keeping their teeth for life.

The joint efforts of the dentist, the hygienist and the patient, can help to prevent the need for treatment, and so avoid the traditional pattern of fillings and extractions.

A course of treatment may be recommended to get your mouth into good condition, and a maintenance plan with recare visits will be worked out to help you keep it that way.
Recare visits allow us to “deep clean” your teeth, check for potential problems with your teeth, and help you maintain the highest level of home care.
