The Benefits of Preventative Dentistry - Karalee Family Dental

1. The Benefits of Preventative Dentistry

2. Preventative Dentistry • Most of the time people go to the dentist, it’s after a problem has occurred. Whether it’s for a chipped tooth, yellowing teeth or tooth ache, people often don’t think about dentistry until they need immediate attention. • It’s no surprise that one of the questions we are asked most often is why we offer preventative dentistry. Preventative dentistry is a way to make sure you are properly caring for your teeth in a way that will prevent future issues. • As your local dentist, we at Karalee Dental, believe regular visits are important, and preventative dentistry offers many benefits to patients. Here are just a few.

3. Detect Problems Early • When you only book an appointment with your dentist after a problem has occurred, it’s likely to be already quite severe by the time you see someone and may require urgent attention and painful treatments. • A routine check-up will usually be a painless experience and result in the early detection of small problems like a cavity and potentially big problems like oral cancer.

4. Reduce Your Risk of Gum Diseases • Preventative dentistry can pick up the early development of tartar and plaque, which can then develop into gum diseases, cavities or other issues. • If picked up early at a regular dentist check-up with karalee dental, actions can be put in place, like an enhanced brushing or flossing routine, to prevent gum diseases from eventuating.

5. Save Yourself from Big Dentist Bills • The initial small cost of a check-up may put some people off, but restorative dental care after issues have occurred can cost you thousands. • The combination of treatment, such as clean and scale, and education you receive with preventative dentistry will help you prevent the sort of damage and decay which can be more costly to treat. • Enjoy the benefits of preventative dentistry by booking an appointment with karalee dental today.
