Preventive dentistry is the key to enjoying a healthy smile! Our experienced dentists and team offer several preventive treatments to help you avoid problems like cavities and gum disease so that you can enjoy better oral health and a more beautiful smile. We welcome you to call Everest Dental PC today to find out more about preventive dentistry in White Plains, New York, and schedule an appointment with Dr. Lisha Shrestha.
In the best case scenario, our dentists and team will be able to help you avoid dental issues before they happen, saving you time, money and often, tooth pain. Preventive dentistry refers to any dental treatment we may recommend to accomplish just that. Maintaining your oral health with regular dental exams, cleanings and visits to our office can help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, dental damage or other issues before they occur. The healthier your teeth, gums and mouth stay, the more likely they are to serve you throughout your life.
Beyond avoiding future decay, preventive care visits can also help our team identify and diagnose oral health issues that may occur regardless of how well you take care of your mouth, such as oral cancer or denture stomatitis. The earlier these conditions are caught, the easier it is for our team to treat them and the more likely it is for those treatments to be effective.
Preventive dental care may look like:
- Consistent oral hygiene routines (brushing and flossing your teeth at home)
- Regular dental cleanings and exams
- Dental sealants or fluoride treatment
- Regular maintenance of oral appliances and dental restorations
- Healthy diets and lifestyle choices, such as avoiding smoking or tobacco use
- Following dentist recommendations for oral health products or hygiene aids
Regular dental exams and cleanings are recommended every six months. It is at these appointments that our dentists and team have the opportunity to monitor your oral health and identify any potentially harmful developments. To learn more about how our team can work with you to prevent dental problems, call or visit Everest Dental PC today to schedule your next check-up with our office.
