Cleaning and Prevention
Cleaning and preventative care play pivotal roles in maintaining overall oral health. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Additionally, preventative treatments like fluoride applications and dental sealants provide added protection against tooth decay. By emphasizing these practices, dental professionals aim to not only treat existing issues but also prevent future dental problems. Encouraging good oral hygiene habits and offering personalized care plans further ensure that patients can enjoy healthy smiles for years to come.
