Preventive care dentistry is the core of having a lifetime of good dental health.

Even though most American adults think they have good teeth and dental hygiene, in fact they may suffer from serious gum diseases. Gum disease is the leading cause of losing teeth, not tooth decay.
Most tooth decay and periodontal disease are preventable through proper brushing and flossing between the teeth at home and regular cleaning and care at the dentist's office. Prophylaxis, or professional cleaning of the teeth, is usually done by a dental hygienist. Cleaning tools called scalers, either manual or ultrasonic, are used to remove tartar and other material.
Ideally, you should visit your dentist once in 6 months to check your oral hygiene.
