Oral Health and Prevention

Preventive dentistry should be incorporated into all treatment, with every team member able to discuss the various options with patients. Patients also must be willing to take responsibility for their own oral health, and the more educated they are, the more likely they are to do that. It’s also important to build a rapport with patients, because when they trust you and feel a connection to the practice, they’re much more likely to follow your recommendations.· Recognize the importance of early preventive care  oral hygiene contributes to maintaining oral health in children and adults.
