\"170082992\"<\/a>Ever wonder why your dentist wants to see you every six months? Yes, yes\u2014of course he or she likes seeing you. The actual reason, however, is because with regular checkups you and your dentist can work together to help you avoid oral health problems. In fact, the primary goal of dentistry is to prevent problems before they become painful or expensive. With this in mind, the dentists at Generations Dental Care<\/a> in Concord, NH<\/a>, place an emphasis on preventive dentistry<\/a> for their patients, young and old.<\/p>\n

Preventive Dentistry at Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are several components to preventive dentistry<\/strong>, but believe it or not the process begins with you. When you brush and floss your teeth twice a day, every day, you are taking an important step in preventing oral health problems. When you brush, you remove plaque, which can become dental tartar\u2014the sticky substance with acid-producing bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease. Flossing, of course, is critical to removing food particles and plaque from between teeth.<\/p>\n

Preventive Dentistry in the Office<\/strong><\/p>\n

At your regularly scheduled checkups with Generations Dental Care, our dentists and their staff supplement your at-home regimen. We will clean your teeth, remove plaque, take x-rays when necessary to expose hidden areas of decay, and examine all of the soft tissue in your mouth to spot any abnormalities that may be a warning sign of oral cancer. Furthermore, we may recommend fluoride treatments to strengthen your teeth\u2019s enamel, or dental sealants, which create a barrier between your deeply grooved molars and decay-causing bacteria.<\/p>\n
