At Witney Smile Clinic, we encourage and promote preventive dentistry, recognising how vital it is to the preservation of our patients’ long-term oral health.
Preventive dentistry is the term we use for all the regular, ongoing care we provide our teeth and oral health, in order to safeguard our long-term oral wellbeing. This includes routine visits to the dentist, which we recommend every 6-12 months, regular dental hygiene appointments, and a thorough at-home care routine.
As with all health matters, with dental care, prevention is better than treatment. The preventive measures we implement, and encourage our patients to adopt, are all designed to avoid intervention and restoration in the future.
These straightforward measures can help prevent tooth decay from developing and gum disease from occurring, for example. Routine visits to a dentist and dental hygienist will also ensure that if such issues do arise, they can be identified early on, making them far simpler to treat. Preventive dental care can also have an impact on your broader overall health – gum disease has been linked to an elevated risk of heart disease, for example.
