Preventive Dentistry in Dubai
Preventive dentistry is a mix of consistent checkups with healthy habits such as brushing and flossing. Preventive dentistry sustains good oral health. It includes regular check-ups or exams every six months, teeth brushing and flossing, and routine X-rays.
Dentists that specialize in preventive dental care are called general dentists or pediatric dentists. General dentists give their patients instructions on how to maintain oral hygiene and give them regular appointments. During these regular appointments, dentists conduct teeth cleanings, exams, X-rays, and dental fillings (if needed). Moreover, they can recognize potential issues before they arise or worsen. Pediatric dentists (children’s dentists) specialize in dental care for children. The majority of kids begin with dental care when their first tooth becomes visible. Pediatric dentists see their patients (children) regularly until their teens.

Patients Maintain Their Oral Hygiene
Dental care starts with patients. It is very important to develop healthy dental habits from an early stage in a patient’s life. This helps minimize risks of cavities, gum infections, and other problems. Some of the main practices for maintaining good oral health: Brushing teeth 2 times a day. Flossing daily to remove the food that is stuck in between the teeth before it turns into plaque. Using a mouthwash to cleanse the mouth from food grains after flossing. Being careful with hard foods. Avoiding smoking as it causes cancer and other dental problems.

Preventive Dentistry FAQs
Preventive dentistry is dental care that helps maintain good oral health. It’s a combination of regular dental check-ups along with developing good habits like brushing and flossing. Taking care of your teeth starts early in childhood and extends throughout the course of your life.
Most people don’t know this, but you should visit twice a year for dental cleanings and check-ups. Some people think that once they reach adulthood, they no longer need to come twice a year, but
that’s quite untrue. It’s more important than ever for adults to continue bi-annual visits to allow teeth to remain healthy for the rest of their lives.
X-rays are a useful diagnostic tool that allows a dentist to detect potential disease or damage to teeth and jaw bones that are not visible during a routine dental exam.
Preventive dentistry services may include: Regular oral exams,
usually every 6 months, teeth cleaning and routine X-rays.
With good dental hygiene, you can greatly reduce your risk of getting cavities, gingivitis, periodontitis, and other dental problems. This, in turn, can reduce your risk of secondary problems caused by poor oral health. Some health problems that may be linked to poor oral health are diabetes, heart disease,
cancer, osteoporosis and respiratory disease.
