Preventive DentistryThe purpose of preventive dentistry is to help each of us keep our teeth and gums healthy today and every day. The ultimate goal of our practice is to prevent dental disease and loss of teeth. For that reason Dr. Khokhar offers a wide range of preventive treatments to his patients. Our preventive services include:
We strongly believe that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. Therefore, we emphasize the practice of excellent home care and dental check-ups at prescribed intervals. These are custom tailored to individual needs. The two primary causes of tooth loss, decay and gum disease, are generally caused by bacteria in the mouth. However, both of these problems can be dramatically minimized through proper dental hygiene practiced on a regular basis. Some of the elements of proper dental hygiene include brushing twice a day, flossing, eating a balanced diet, limiting between-meal snacks, and seeing your dentist at least twice a year for cleaning and exam. Additional preventive methods include the application of dental sealants and exposure to fluoride in the form of fluoridated drinking water, toothpaste, mouthwash, or fluoride treatments directly applied by a dentist. |
