Preventive dentistry is vital to ensuring your ongoing oral health. Through regular dental examinations, cleanings, and appropriate at-home care, you can keep your teeth and gums in good condition and avoid painful conditions such as periodontal disease that can compromise your future dental health.

By taking care of your teeth from the time you are a child and up through your adult years, you lay the foundation you need for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. 

What Do You Recommend to Keep My Teeth and Gums Healthy?

The Alpine Dental preventive dentistry approach hinges on three important services:

  • Twice yearly dental examinations
  • Regular teeth cleaning
  • Dental x-rays

However, attending your regularly scheduled appointments for dental care is not sufficient to ensure your ongoing oral health. Preventive dental care starts with you! To prevent the development of such problems as tooth decay, gum disease, and gingivitis, you will need to commit to a regular regimen of proper tooth brushing and flossing at home. 

Other things you can do to support your dental health include:

  • Make use of mouthwash 
  • Avoid overly acidic foods 
  • Chew hard foods carefully to prevent chipping or damage to your teeth
  • Avoid smoking
  • Keep tea and coffee drinking to a minimum to prevent staining
  • Wear a mouthguard when playing defensive sports or if a known tooth grinder
