Preventative Dentistry

Preventative dentistry is a proactive type of dentistry designed to prevent problems with a patient’s teeth and gums before they manifest. If your dentist has been reactive as opposed to proactive, it is time to change dentists. Reach out to our dentist today at (808) 674-9299 to schedule an appointment where we will analyze your unique oral health to determine if any problems are developing.

Preventative dentistry aims to keep the gums, teeth and other components of the mouth as healthy as possible with the goal of preventing gum disease, cavities, tooth loss and other problems down the line. Though preventative care takes additional time and work, it prevents a slew of problems in both the near future and also as time progresses. It is better to proactively address budding problems as they develop, address them right away and set the stage for a future in which the patient’s oral health and beauty only suffer minor unexpected issues rather than ones that could have been prevented in prior months and years. This is accomplished with six-month exams, cleanings, restorations and treatments.
