Frequently asked questions about preventive dentistry

What is preventive dentistry?

Preventive dentistry is a facet of dental care and focuses on preventing dental issues from happening. This can minimise the need for restorative dentistry in the future. With early intervention your dentist can treat minor problems before they develop into serious issues.

Dental Hygienists are registered, dental professionals. They are trained in preventive dentistry.
Dental Hygienists can help you decrease the chances of decay and gum disease and can advise which products are the most appropriate for you.

Dental sealants are typically used to even the biting surface of a molar tooth. This is used to prevent decay. Molar teeth can have naturally deep pivots or fissures.

Food debris can get caught in these fissures. It then becomes incredibly difficult to clean away. A dental sealant is a thin protective layer. This layer coats the chewing surface of a tooth to protect it from decay.
