PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY
Preventive Dental Services
At Affordable Dental, we believe that preventative dentistry is a key part of your oral health. Our preventive dental care options help detect any potential problems before they occur. Routine check-ups are also an important part of Preventive Dentistry.
Why Choose Preventive Dentistry?
It is important to note that the goal of Preventative Dentistry is more than just whitening teeth and improving their appearance. In fact, Preventative Dentistry is the primary factor in maintaining dental health. By focusing on preventive dental care options, the risk of many problems, including cavities, gum disease, enamel loss, and periodontitis, can be greatly reduced.
In fact, by paying attention to preventative dentistry, you can greatly save money and time that you may spend in the future due to dental problems.

Services Offered in Preventive Dentistry
Dental Check-Up
It is strongly recommended that teeth be examined regularly every six months. This is one of the important items in the field of preventive dentistry. One point that is always emphasised today is that early detection is very important in reducing costs and increasing the effectiveness of treatment.
Scale and Clean
A professional scale and clean every six months is key to removing plaque and tartar build-up that daily brushing and flossing may miss. This treatment also helps to detect first signs of tooth decay, keeping your teeth and gums in optimal condition.
Dental X-Rays
Dental X-rays are one of the most important tools for identifying dental problems. In fact, Dental X-rays are very helpful in identifying issues such as cavities between teeth or issues below the gum line. Without a doubt, their role in early detection of dental problems cannot be ignored.
Mouthguards
Some patients that play sports or have bruxism (teeth grinding) can use custom–fitted mouth guards. These protective devices can prevent tooth damage and alleviate conditions like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Dental Tips for Personalised Preventive Dental Care
To complement our preventative dentistry services, we encourage the following daily habits:
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Floss daily to remove food particles between teeth.
- Use fluoride mouthwash after flossing.
- Avoid acidic foods and drinks that erode enamel.
- Additional things to be extra careful with are foods with bones, seeds or pits and hard candies.
- Wear a mouthguard during contact sports or if you grind your teeth at night.
- Avoid smoking and tobacco products.
Who Can Benefit from Preventive Dental Care?
Preventative dentistry is applicable to all ages, ranging from children that are learning proper oral hygiene to the elderly who need protection against age related oral health problems. For those in vulnerable groups (immunocompromised patients, for instance), oral conditions becoming attacks on their overall health, it’s particularly beneficial.
