   Prevention - Active Intervention
Prevention is based on risk and risk factors. This is treatment before disease is observed. Repair of the effects of disease rarely results in a condition as good as the original health state. Preventing disease eliminates tooth loss and reparative treatment.Fluoride
Therapeutic oral rinses
Occlusal Adjustment
Bite guard
Crown for at risk tooth
   Communication
Dental treatment cannot keep you healthy. Your participation is very important. The most common patient behaviors that influence health and treatment success are oral hygiene, nutrition, and smoking. You may receive advice, including resources for you to change to health-promoting behaviors.Oral hygiene Instruction
Nutritional Counseling
   Visit the Dentist
Symptoms are warning signs that frequently appear too late in the disease process for the simplest, most predictable, least costly treatment. Regular visits to detect disease in the early stages can prevent more complex and expensive treatment. Better still are regular visits for preventive care targeted to your risk factors.
