What Is Preventive Dentistry?

 

Preventive dentistry is the branch of dentistry that focuses on eliminating the causes of many dental problems, thereby preventing those problems from occurring. In particular, preventive dentistry targets bacteria accumulation in the mouth - the root cause of most preventable dental problems. Preventive dentistry also addresses oral development issues (especially in children), as these issues typically impact one's overall dental health. The benefits of preventive dental care are numerous, including decreasing the chances that more extensive dental treatment will be necessary in the future.
