PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY AT BROADVIEW DENTAL CLINIC – PROTECTING YOUR SMILE FOR LIFE
At Broadview Dental Clinic, we believe the best dentistry is preventive dentistry. By taking small, proactive steps today, you can avoid bigger, more costly, and more uncomfortable dental problems in the future. Regular check-ups and professional cleans are at the heart of this approach, helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy while giving you peace of mind that your smile is well cared for.
WHY ARE DENTAL CHECK-UPS IMPORTANT?
Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits at home, it’s impossible to see or reach every part of your mouth. Dental check-ups allow us to examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health in detail, spotting any issues early before they become more serious.
During your check-up at Broadview Dental Clinic, we:
- Examine your teeth for cavities, cracks, or wear
- Check the health of your gums and screen for signs of gum disease
- Assess existing fillings, crowns, and restorations
- Monitor jaw health, bite, and any signs of teeth grinding
- Provide advice tailored to your individual needs
By detecting problems early, we can often treat them quickly and simply, saving you from more complex procedures later.
THE BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL CLEANS
Plaque naturally builds up on teeth, even with daily brushing. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which cannot be removed at home. This build-up can irritate gums, cause bad breath, and increase your risk of cavities and gum disease.
A professional clean — sometimes called a “scale and polish” — removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. Our dental team also polishes your teeth, leaving them feeling fresh, smooth, and sparkling clean. Many patients love the bright, healthy feeling after a clean, but the benefits go far beyond appearance — regular cleans are one of the most effective ways to maintain long-term oral health.
PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY – MORE THAN JUST CLEANING
Preventive dentistry is about protecting your teeth and gums before problems arise. At Broadview Dental Clinic, our preventive care includes:
- Fluoride treatments – Strengthen enamel and protect against cavities
- Fissure sealants – Thin coatings applied to the grooves of molars to prevent decay
- Oral hygiene education – Personalised advice on brushing, flossing, and diet
- Monitoring high-risk areas – Keeping an eye on teeth that may be prone to future issues
- Screening for oral cancer and other conditions – Ensuring your overall oral health is always a priority
This comprehensive approach gives you the best chance of keeping your natural teeth healthy for life.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU VISIT?
For most patients, we recommend a check-up and clean every six months. However, some people may need more frequent visits, especially if they are prone to gum disease or decay or have certain health conditions. Our team will advise you on the schedule that’s right for you.
PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY FOR CHILDREN
Good habits start early. Regular check-ups and cleans are just as important for children as they are for adults. These visits help ensure that children’s teeth are developing properly and give them a positive experience at the dentist. Preventive treatments such as fluoride and fissure sealants are especially valuable for protecting young smiles. At Broadview, we make every effort to create a relaxed, friendly environment where children feel comfortable and even enjoy their visits.
