Preventive Dentistry
Congratulations!...
If you've gotten this deep into the website, then you are very likely to be able to keep your teeth your whole life! You must care a lot about prevention.
It's the folks who only look at the page for dental emergencies, that we have to worry about. :)
On the side menu here you will find some of our best Prevention topics. You can look under our "faqs" tab at the top of this page to find even more interesting topics related to prevention.
Here's the bottom-line:
Where it's money, time or fear that keeps you away from the dentist, PREVENTION should be your best friend. Anything that has a proven track record as a preventive measure is worth your time and attention. If you can understand that reasoning, then it's just a matter of self-discipline going forward.
Let's take the matter of good'ol FLOSSING... Everyone knows they should, but statistics on dental floss sales in the U.S. show that only 20% of adults floss regularly. Still,.. 83% of people believe their teeth are more important to their appearance than hair and eyes,(according to a recent survey conducted by Roper ASW in conjunction with ReachMax.)
A healthy, pleasing smile at age 80 won't just happen. It will take prevention. It's all about breaking old habits and making new ones!
Hopefully this website can be a great resource to you as you try to make educated decisions, and we thank you for caring about this page especially!!!
