PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY AT SUNRISE DENTAL

Preventive dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the preservation of healthy teeth and gums and the prevention of dental caries and oral disease. Preventive dentistry leads to a healthy smile for life.

At Sunrise Dental Clinic, we practice preventive dentistry with a passion, to manage and maintain beautiful smiles. In addition to regular dental visits for the entire family, preventive dentistry for children is very important and requires parental involvement with daily oral care at home.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH
PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

When to Start Preventive Dentistry

Daily cleaning of the teeth should begin as soon as the first tooth erupts. Visit your family Coquitlam dentist when the first tooth emerges, or no later than the child’s first birthday, to establish a dental plan. Early visits to a pediatric dentist are the foundation of a lifetime of good oral health and a great smile. The earlier you visit your dentist, the better the chance of preventing dental diseases, which helps you build a cavity-free smile.

Why is preventive dentistry important?

Adults and children with a healthy mouth have a better chance of general health. Oral conditions can interfere with eating and adequate nutritional intake, speech, self-esteem, and daily activities. Severe decay can affect growth and development. Adults and children with dental pain may be unable to concentrate in their respective work and school. In addition, a healthy mouth is more attractive and gives you confidence in your appearance. Most importantly, preventive dentistry can result in less extensive—and less expensive—treatment for you and your family.
