Keep Your Smile Beautiful with Preventive Dental Options

If you ask most people, they’ll probably associate visiting the dentist with something negative. This is often because when most visit a dentist, they are experiencing a serious issue that may require uncomfortable treatment. By contrast, patients visiting Mahajan Dentistry for preventive oral care enjoy a totally positive and comfortable experience thanks to Dr. Rekha Mahajan and her compassionate and highly skilled team.

Why Preventive Oral Care is so Important

They say the best defense is a good offense, and that’s precisely what proactive preventive oral care entails. Instead of waiting for issues such as infection, breakage, and cavities to arise, you and Dr. Mahajan go on the offensive to circumvent as many dental issues as possible. This approach saves you discomfort not only down the road but also money, time, and, of course, your beautiful smile.

Here are a few preventive oral care treatments we offer to help your smile stay healthy.

• Regular prophylaxis (dental cleanings).
• Routine evaluations, which may sometimes include dental x-rays.
• The use of sealants to preserve your teeth.
• Professional-strength in-office fluoride treatments.
• Prescription-strength mouthwashes, toothpaste, and other dental health products.

Tips for Maintaining a Healthy, Beautiful Smile

Along with our preventive oral care services, here at Mahajan Dentistry, Dr. Mahajan and her team also believe in educating our patients regarding what they can do at home to improve their long-term oral health. Building positive oral health habits is one of the keys to enjoying an amazing lifelong smile. Dr. Mahajan recommends the following tips to patients:

• Brush your teeth using only soft-bristle toothbrushes along with fluoride toothpaste following every meal.
• Eat a balanced and nutritious diet daily.
• Floss correctly at least once per day to dislodge and remove food that becomes stuck between teeth.
• Quit smoking and using chewing tobacco to lower your risk of contracting oral cancer.
• Avoid consuming sugary and sticky foods, which can cause cavities.
• Ask Dr. Mahajan about antiseptic rinses, fluoride rinses, and sealants you can use to provide your teeth with permanent protection.
• Visit Dr. Mahajan at least once every six months for routine evaluations and cleanings to keep tabs on your overall oral health.
