Practicing preventive dentistry

When you brush and floss your teeth, you are practicing preventive dentistry. When you have your teeth professionally cleaned by your dentist or dental hygienist, you are practicing preventive dentistry.
Preventive dentistry includes everything you do to maintain the health of your natural teeth and your gums that support and nourish your teeth throughout your life. Yet, even with the best home care, dental plaque and calculus (tartar) accumulation is almost inevitable and can lead to gingivitis.

That’s why the American Dental Association recommends that you have an oral exam and a professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and calculus at least every six months. A professional dental cleaning leaves your teeth smooth and polished, free of stains and bacterial accumulations that are responsible for bad breath, cavities and gum problems (gingivitis and periodontal disease).

The leading cause of tooth loss among adults

The accumulation of plaque and calculus (tartar) may generate local inflammation (gingivitis) and/or the progression of periodontal disease, the number one cause of tooth loss among adults. If inflammation or other gingivitis symptoms get worse and progresses, it might be necessary to have a deep professional teeth cleaning. We achieve this by performing scaling and root planning or, in the worst cases, periodontal surgery.
The communities of Pennington, Ewing, Hopewell Township, Princeton and Lawrenceville, among many others, look to Pennington Family Dentistry for comprehensive preventive dentistry.
