Maintain A Healthy Smile With Preventive Dentistry

Prevention is an essential aspect of dentistry, as it helps patients prioritize and protect their smiles in the short and long term. It’s also a crucial component for maintaining good overall health, as the mouth can be a gateway for bacteria and infections that can spread to other parts of the body.

What are the benefits of preventive dentistry?
