Preventive Dentistry: What You Need to Know Before the New Year

As the new year approaches, it’s a great time to commit to preventive dental care. Regular check-ups and cleanings are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and avoiding costly treatments later.

The Importance of Preventive Care

Preventive dentistry focuses on stopping problems before they start. Regular visits allow your dentist to detect early signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues, making treatment more effective and less invasive.

What Happens During a Check-Up?

Professional Cleaning:

Removes plaque and tartar, which brushing alone can’t eliminate.

Examination:

Detects cavities, gum issues, and signs of oral cancer.

X-Rays:

Identifies hidden problems, like decay between teeth or bone loss.

Long-Term Benefits of Preventive Care

  • Saves money by reducing the need for extensive procedures.
  • Prevents tooth loss and other complications.
  • Improves overall health by reducing risks linked to oral infections.


Start the year with a fresh and healthy smile. Book your preventive care appointment at Langley Dental today!
