Preventive dentistry is a modern way of caring for teeth. In preventive dentistry, patients care for their teeth at home and visit the dentist for more professional care.

Key takeaways:

– Home preventive dentistry includes brushing and flossing at least twice daily, rinsing with mouthwash and eating teeth-healthy meals.

– The dentist can help prevent oral diseases by cleaning your teeth, checking your teeth and performing cosmetic procedures.

– Avoid consuming soft drinks, sugary foods, acidic foods and alcohol.

Note that you should wait for 30 minutes after eating to brush your teeth.
