Preventive care is dental care that aims to maintain good oral health. This consists of regular dental check-ups at least twice a year. It also includes the development of good brushing and flossing habits. Taking care of your teeth should begin in childhood and continue throughout one’s life.
Preventive dentistry for kids can begin as soon as the first tooth emerges. This will help identify problems ahead of time before they can worsen. Services typically consist of the following:

Promoting positive oral hygiene and building good habits, including brushing and flossing at least twice a day.
Identifying dental problems early on to minimize the cost and urgency of treatment.
