Patient Services > Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry reduces the amount of dental treatment needed to maintain a healthy mouth.

The two major causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease. The better you prevent or deal with these two problems, the better chance you have of keeping your teeth for life.

The efforts of the dentist, hygienist and you can help to prevent the need for treatment and avoid fillings, extractions or gum surgery.
