Prevention depends on your healthy habits and your dentist’s efforts to keep your teeth and gums healthy. In other words, seeing your Katoomba dentist regularly for dental cleans and check-ups is crucial. At that time, your dentist may recommend additional preventive treatments like sealants to keep cavities at bay.
Dental cleans eliminate cavity-causing bacteria that are hard to clear entirely with your toothbrush and dental floss. Regular teeth cleans may also lower your risk for gum disease.
Dental check-ups allow your dentist to spot potential problems early before they become time-consuming and costly oral health issues. For example, if your dentist catches gum disease in the gingivitis stage, we can often reverse it. And we always perform an oral cancer screening during your dental visit. Early detection is typically best.
Between dental cleans and check-ups, your role is to implement healthy habits, including:
- Brushing at least twice per day
- Flossing at least once per day
- Consuming a healthy diet
If you have questions for the dentist between preventive visits, we encourage your call. Our team members are always happy to help.
