We focus on prevention to help you avoid tooth decay or diseases of your gums, tongue and mouth.
Maintaining Your Dental Health
Inflammation of the gums and bone that surround your teeth can lead to dental disease.
Tartar and plaque buildup above and below the gum line can cause inflammation of the gums and bone surrounding your teeth.
In the early stage, it’s called gingivitis. Gums can become swollen and red, and may bleed.
In its more serious form, it’s called periodontitis. Gums can pull away from teeth, bone can be lost, and teeth may loosen or even fall out.
Periodontal disease and tooth decay are the two biggest threats to dental health.
Did you know your dental health might affect your overall health?
Studies show there might be links between dental disease and other disease such as diabetes, leukemia, oral cancer, pancreatic cancer, heart disease and kidney disease. Poor oral hygiene can also cause premature births and respiratory illness.
Why You Need Professional Care
You might brush and floss regularly. Unfortunately, it can be impossible for you to remove all the food, bacteria and tartar from below your gum line.
The practiced eye of a dentist or hygienist using specialized dental equipment is needed to detect and remove inflammatory buildup.
Symptoms You Should Investigate
Be sure to book a dental checkup and cleaning appointment if you have:
- bad breath
- red, tender, or bleeding gums
- pain when chewing
- sensitive teeth
- a change in the way your teeth fit together
- gums pulling away from your teeth
- new lumps or lesions anywhere in your mouth

FAQ
Why is preventive dentistry important for oral health?
Preventive dentistry in Red Deer stops dental problems before they start, avoiding opportunities of getting cavities, gum disease, and costly treatments later on.
What are the main goals of preventive dentistry?
The priority goals are healthy gums and teeth, the capacity to detect early signs of oral disease, and acquiring lifetime oral well-being through regular treatment and education.
What is the role of fluoride in preventive dentistry?
Fluoride reinforces your tooth enamel, making it tougher against cavities and decay. As a key part of Preventive Dentistry, it’s commonly delivered through toothpaste or applied during routine cleanings.
What are dental sealants, and how do they help prevent cavities?
Sealants are a thin coat of protective paint placed in the crevices of back teeth, where they create a buffer that keeps food particles and bacteria from entering. They guard those far-back, hard-to-reach areas from cavities.
How can I prevent tooth decay at home?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, abstain from sweet foods and drink enough water to maintain a clean and cavity-free mouth.
What is plaque, and how can I prevent it from building up?
Plaque is a thin, smooth layer of bacteria that quietly builds up on your teeth and around the gums. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings help keep it in check.
