PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY
Maintain Your Healthy Smile
Keeping your smile healthy and beautiful requires a combination of consistent at-home care and regular visits to the dentist. At Mississippi Dental Center, we offer a wide range of preventive dentistry services to protect against oral health issues. Our doctors are dedicated to helping our patients maintain their smiles at any age. With services for your entire family, our team can educate you on more effective at-home hygiene tips as well as provide tailored treatment options.
Twice-yearly exams are the simplest way to catch harmful conditions in their earliest stages.
Preventive dental care is a simple, cost-effective way to maintain your oral health and overall well-being.
The Benefits of Preventive Dentistry
No matter your age, you can benefit from preventive dentistry. Proper dental care can help you avoid or reduce the effects of:
- Cavities
- Enamel wear
- Gum disease
- Tooth loss
Preventing these oral issues can also protect your overall health. Several serious health concerns have been linked to poor oral hygiene, including:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Respiratory disease
- Osteoporosis
- Cancer
- Stroke
Consistent preventive care can also help save you money. The treatments involved in keeping your smile healthy cost significantly less than restorative procedures, such as fillings, root canals, and dental implants. Our team can help you minimize the need for more extensive treatment by maintaining your oral health.
At-Home Care
Taking care of your teeth at home is just as important as attending regular cleanings at our office. You should floss daily and brush your teeth at least twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste.
In addition, a balanced diet can help protect your teeth by providing the nutrients they need to stay strong and healthy. Limit the number of sugary and acidic beverages you consume, drink plenty of water, and focus on eating wholesome foods.
