What Preventive Dental Care Includes

Preventive care helps catch minor problems early. Most issues, such as cavities or gum disease, often begin without noticeable pain. With regular checkups, we can detect and treat them while they’re still simple to fix.

At Southeastern Dental Center, preventive care includes:

• Professional cleanings with gentle removal of plaque and tartar.
• Digital X-rays to detect problems below the surface.
• Comprehensive dental exams from experienced dentists.
• Fluoride treatments and sealants to protect against future decay.
• Guidance on brushing, flossing, and diet to maintain oral health.

With preventative care, the earlier dental problems are found, the easier and more affordable they usually are to treat.

What Happens If You Wait Too Long?

It’s easy to put off dental appointments, especially when nothing feels wrong. But dental issues tend to grow quietly and quickly. Waiting often leads to bigger problems and more expensive treatments.

For example:

• A small cavity may need only a filling.
• Wait too long, and it might require a root canal or extraction.
• Missing teeth can lead to bone loss and complex restorative work.
• Gum disease can worsen and damage your overall health.

Routine visits help prevent all of this. You save time in the chair and avoid emergency costs later on.
