Preventive Dentistry for Children and Adults
For Children
Preventive dentistry lays the groundwork for a lifetime of healthy habits. By starting early, children can:
- Learn the importance of oral hygiene.
- Prevent cavities, which are common due to higher sugar intake and less effective brushing.
- Avoid dental anxiety with positive, supportive visits.
- Ensure proper development of teeth and address early structural issues.
For Adults
Maintaining oral health as an adult is essential to preserving your smile and preventing systemic health issues. Regular dental care can:
- Reduce the risk of chronic conditions linked to poor oral health.
- Address wear and tear that naturally occurs over time.
- Keep your teeth and gums healthy, preserving your confidence and quality of life.
How Smile Haven Dental Studio Helps with Sensitive Teeth
Sensitive teeth can make everyday activities like eating and drinking uncomfortable. Our approach to preventive dentistry helps manage and reduce sensitivity by:
- Strengthening enamel with fluoride treatments.
- Identifying and addressing gum recession early.
- Protecting your teeth from wear and damage.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Preventive Dental Care?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive dental care services, but coverage can vary based on your plan. At Smile Haven, we simplify the process by offering a complimentary benefit check. For patients without insurance, our in-house membership plan includes all preventive services at no additional cost. Call today to learn more!
How Often Should You Visit the Dentist for Preventive Care?
We recommend scheduling a preventive dentistry appointment every six months. For high-risk patients or those experiencing symptoms, we may recommend more frequent visits to ensure optimal care.
Risks of Skipping Preventive Dental Care
Neglecting regular dental care can have serious consequences:
- Oral Health Risks: Cavities, gum disease, tooth decay, and sensitivity can worsen over time.
- Systemic Health Risks: Poor oral health has been linked to conditions like heart disease, preterm birth, and diabetes.
- Higher Costs: Preventive care is far more affordable than the restorative treatments required for advanced dental issues.
