Preventative Dental Care

Preventive dental care is everything you should do to take care of your teeth and gums: brushing, flossing, eating a healthy diet, and seeing your dentist regularly for cleaning and checkups.

When it comes to a healthy body and healthy teeth and gums, preventive dental care is important. Healthy teeth directly relate to your physical health and well being.

Brushing and flossing your teeth regularly helps remove plaque from on and between your teeth. A healthy, low sugar diet helps keep your body, including your teeth in shape.

Regular dental exams and dental cleanings can help prevent tooth problems. Through regular checkups, you can detect and prevent larger tooth issues faster and for less.

You should see your dentist once or twice a year. The amount of yearly visits necessary depends on your dental health, your dental history, and your risk of dental disease. At Oyster Point Dentistry, we will help you determine the frequency of dental visits that's right for you.
