Dental 266 Preventative Dentistry
Have you ever wondered why some people can talk confidently and without any qualms in front of a large group of people? Or why some people are so fashion-forward, always being seen and photographed with a big, bright smile?
Chances are their key to success and confidence is very simple: regular, professional dental care and proper oral hygiene since they were children.
Benefits of Regular General Check-ups and Dental Cleans
At Dental 266, we believe your rosy future is based on good health and regular, professional care of your dental needs by those who have been in the business for a combined 55 years. How do you achieve this? By Consistent Oral Hygiene Home Practice and a Bi-annual Professional Care! There are many benefits of regular professional dental checkups.
Early Detection of Dental Problems & Maintenance
A professional dental check-up every six months is vital in determining the health of your teeth and a way to detect a problem at its earliest stage. Likewise, thorough professional cleaning of your teeth by removing the tartar and plaque above the gum line is recommended every six months since rock-hard tartar cannot be removed simply by brushing once it’s formed.
Fluoridation of your teeth which consists of applying fluoride to your teeth to further strengthen the tooth enamel is also highly recommended at this time. This can be easily done by your friendly dentist at Dental 266.
Prevention of Gum Diseases, Tooth Decay, and Oral Infections
The age-old adage, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” aptly describes the very backbone of Preventative Dentistry. The foundation of Preventative Dentistry is reliant on good oral hygiene. With good oral hygiene, you can prevent excessive build-ups of bacteria and tartar around your teeth and gums, reducing the chance of getting gum disease, tooth decay, oral infections and bad breath.
Gum Diseases, otherwise known as Periodontal Diseases, are the main concern of Preventative Dentistry. It is caused by an unchecked build-up of bacteria and dental plaque around the gum lines which makes your gums and bones recede. If left untreated, ultimately, tooth loss will occur.
Periodontal disease has been linked also to more serious diseases such as heart disease and stroke. Therefore, the more you take care of your teeth by constant daily brushing and flossing, as well as a regular, professional check-up and cleaning every 6 months, the less likely you develop gum disease, tooth decay, and dental infections.
A Cost-Effective Way for Healthier Teeth – Professional Oral Assessments
Sometimes, patients do not realise that a thorough and regularly done Dental Assessment is not only the best but also the most cost-effective way for them to save on proper dental care. Allowing your friendly dentist at Dental 266 to regularly examine the state of your teeth, gums, and mouth will help detect and identify any dental problems as early as possible. Early detection of a problem will help you save on more expensive dental treatments, such as a root canal or dental implants, at a much later date.
At Home Care as Part of Preventative Dentistry
Our trained dentists at Dental 266 always emphasise to our patients the value of having a good “teeth cleaning routine” at home. We also emphasise to them the advantages of having that teeth cleaning routine established among their kids while they’re still very young and impressionable.
The earlier a child starts these teeth cleaning routines at home, the better for him/her because this will be the foundation of his personal development and outlook in life.

A Diet for Strong, Healthy Teeth

A healthy diet rich in vegetables and fruits, among other things, helps in generating good, strong, healthy teeth in the long term. This early, you can teach your children not to eat too much food high in carbohydrates and sugar, since this transforms into acid that can easily wear away your tooth enamel.
