Preventive dental care is important for several reasons. Preventive care can help prevent a variety of oral health problems, including preventative dentistrygum disease. It can also help you maintain better health overall. Gum disease and other oral health concerns can lead to other health problems in the body, such as heart disease. Maintaining good oral health through preventive care is a great way to maintain your overall health. Dr. Ralph Mazzuca is your family dentist in Washington, DC, and can help you remain healthy with preventive dental care.

Better Oral Health

Regular dental visits play a major role in preventive care. Dental professionals have the skills and equipment to provide a more thorough cleaning of the teeth than can be achieved at home. For instance, tartar that has formed on the teeth cannot be removed with regular brushing and flossing. It can only be removed with a professional dental cleaning. Tartar buildup must be removed to prevent the development of gum disease, which can lead to decay and tooth loss. Regular visits with your family dentist in Washington will keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Disease Prevention

Preventive dental care helps ward off a host of oral health problems, such as gum disease and oral cancer. Additionally, regular visits with a dentist can help with prevention of other diseases within the body. A study done by the Academy of General Dentistry linked a variety of systemic diseases to poor oral health. Such diseases include heart disease, pancreatic cancer, kidney disease and diabetes. Poor oral health might contribute to the development of these diseases. Preventive care can help avoid such conditions, as well as boost oral health.

Regular dental visits are an important part of preventive care and can help you maintain good oral health, which can also contribute to better overall health. Preventive care saves you from having to endure various dental procedures down the road to correct problems due to poor oral health. Preventive care can also help with prevention of other diseases and health concerns. See a family dentist in Washington, DC, to discuss you preventive care can help you.
