Preventive Dentistry
At Grand Avenue Dental our preventive dentistry services in Waukesha focus on consistent routine dental hygiene practices and daily procedures that prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease. The best preventative measures are attained through a combination of chair-side examinations and counseling by our dentists, cleanings with a dental hygienist, x-rays, and home dental care by patients.
Preventive Dentistry Q&A
What is preventive dentistry and why is it important?
Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining your oral health before problems arise. Through regular checkups, professional cleanings, and early detection, our team can help you avoid issues such as cavities, gum disease, and more complex treatments down the road. This proactive approach keeps your smile healthier, longer.
How often should I schedule preventive dental visits?
Most patients benefit from visiting the dentist twice a year for routine exams and cleanings. However, depending on your individual needs, such as a higher risk of gum disease or tooth decay, we may recommend more frequent visits. These appointments allow us to monitor your oral health closely and provide timely care.
What can I do at home to support preventive care?
Good oral hygiene at home is just as important as professional care. Brushing twice daily, flossing once a day, eating a balanced diet, and limiting sugary drinks or snacks all play a key role in preventing dental problems. When combined with regular dental visits, these habits help protect your teeth and gums for years to come.
