Preventive Dentistry

Early detection is the key to avoide costly and commplicated dental treatment. Prevention begins with the control of plaque and calculus, the main cause of decay and periodontal disease. In fact, the major cause of tooth loss in adults is periodontal disease, which is known as the silent killer of teeth because most patients feel no symptoms until it's too late. With regular dental visits, we can treat teeth and gum disease at an early stage, before it gets out of hand.

" An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

Dental sealants

Sealant is a plastic material that is usually applied on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth like the premolars and molars to reduce tooth decay. It acts as a protective coating preventing the penetration of decay causing bacteria.

It is prudent to have sealants, a preventive and painless procedure, instead of allowing the tooth to be damaged by decay and going through the restorative procedure.
