Preventive Dentistry

What is Preventive Dentistry?

予防歯科

In Japan, a dentist may be regarded as a place to cure cavities and periodontal diseases, or to fix teeth alignment.
However, when the subjective symptoms appear, it is already in the middle stage of a cavity or periodontal disease. It will be required to remove a large part of the tooth, or in the worst case, it may be needed to extract the tooth.

In order to protect your precious teeth, dentistry for prevention is more critical than repairment.

In Sweden, a developed country of dental hygiene, the people who aged over 80 generally maintain more than 20 of their own teeth. It is significantly related to a high awareness of preventive dentistry. Over 80 percent of adult and almost 100 percent of children of the citizen regularly take dental examinations regularly.

Taking regular dental examinations is the most important.

Home Care Method

予防歯科

Preventive dental care at home is to brush teeth.

Many people have tooth decay, although they brush their teeth everyday. There may be a problem with their way of cleaning. Stains on teeth remain due to habits in the way of brushing, or the alignment of the teeth. Also, excessive brushing make teeth weak.

Brushing your teeth every day is the first step to protect your precious teeth. We introduce a toothbrush that is suitable for you and guide you how to brush teeth using it.

Please do not hesitate to contact us; we are here to consult with you about any problem on your teeth.
