Best Dental Care

Prevention is the foundation of all dental care. Dentists focus on treating the cause of oral disease, not just the results of oral disease. Preventing disease and trauma is the dental professions first task and its other task is providing care when prevention fails.

The goal of the dental profession is to eliminate oral disease by preventing infection (caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, and pulpitis). Dentists attain this goal by teaching their patients about the destruction oral bio-films, or plague, can cause if left to organize.

Dentists seek to discover and diagnose their patients' individual risks for oral disease and develop a preventive treatment plan that their patients can learn and then implement.

When a dental restoration or dental filling, is required, a dentist chooses a dental restorative material to artificially restore the function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure. The missing tooth structure typically results from caries or external trauma. Dental restorations may be fabricated out of a variety of materials.
