Preventative Dentistry
Preventative dentistry focuses on preventing dental problems before they occur. At Dr. Alice Family Dentistry in Plantation, FL, we offer a wide range of preventative dentistry services to help our patients maintain optimal oral health.
One of the primary reasons for prophylactic dental cleanings is to prevent periodontal disease. Once diagnosed, dental disease progresses and will get worse, leading to more severe dental issues. For example, a cavity left untreated will lead to root canal treatment or premature loss of a tooth. Untreated dental disease leads to more expensive treatment if left untreated. At Dr. Alice Family Dentistry in Plantation, FL, we offer a wide range of preventative dentistry services to help our patients maintain optimal oral health.
At Dr. Alice Family Dentistry, we believe that preventative dentistry is the key to maintaining optimal oral health. By visiting us regularly for cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and oral cancer screenings, you can greatly reduce your risk of dental disease. We also provide patient education on oral hygiene and diet to prevent dental problems.
