What is Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dentistry focuses on proactive care that helps maintain oral health and prevent common dental problems like cavities, gum disease, and enamel wear. Through regular checkups, cleanings, and other preventive treatments, we can catch potential issues early and provide the care you need to keep your teeth in optimal condition.
Benefits of Preventive Dentistry

- Maintains Healthy Gums: Regular cleanings and checkups can help prevent gum disease and protect the health of your gums and bone.

It’s recommended to visit the dentist for a checkup and cleaning every six months. However, depending on your individual oral health needs, Dr. Pyle may recommend more frequent visits.
