Maintaining a healthy smile starts with daily brushing and flossing, but professional preventive care is essential for long-term oral health.

From thorough cleanings and detailed exams to advanced screenings and personalized guidance, our Cincinnati preventive dental team goes beyond at-home care to help protect your teeth and gums for life.

How We Approach Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry (also called prophylactic dentistry) includes regular dental examinations and preventive treatments designed to safeguard your teeth and gums from common dental health problems and oral health issues to which you might be predisposed.

Preventive dentistry provides regular care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy by stopping oral health problems before they start. Additionally, preventive dentistry ensures the early detection and treatment of any concerns that do arise.

The Importance of Preventive Dentistry

As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and this statement is just as true in dentistry as it is in any other area of healthcare.

Preventive dentistry protects the teeth and gums from developing serious and sometimes painful issues. This branch of dentistry prevents patients from requiring more costly, time-intensive treatments to address oral health problems that could have been easily avoided.

While preventive dentistry aims to avoid oral health problems altogether, dental concerns can still sometimes develop. In these instances, preventive dentistry focuses on early detection. Like most health concerns, oral health issues are most effectively, efficiently, and inexpensively addressed when diagnosed and treated early.
