Preventative Dentistry
Our primary goal at South Fremantle Family Dental is that you are able to maintain a healthy oral environment, thus preventing tooth decay and/or gum disease.
It’s proven fact that people with unhealthy gums are more prone to heart disease. We believe that it is always better to prevent dental problems developing; therefore, good oral hygiene is the foundation of our preventative care program. Dental problems can be detected and treated early on with regular check-ups.This reduces the need for extensive dental treatment in the future and saving you money. Our dentists take the time to show you how to look after your teeth.
After a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and surrounding oral tissues, our dentists will provide you with all the information you need to maintain a clean and healthy mouth at home, including oral hygiene instruction and dietary recommendations. We also advise getting a clean with one of our dentists regularly to remove calculus build-up and staining to prevent gum disease in the future.
Custom fit mouth guards can also play an important part in preventing dental trauma.
