The vast majority of teeth that are lost by adults could have been prevented. Approximately 75% of teeth are lost through gum disease and the rest through tooth decay, both of which are preventable. Our hygienists, have both trained full time for two years at dental school and specialize in the prevention of periodontal (gum) disease. Our dentist screens the patient for periodontal disease and makes them aware of the findings which often involves one or more hygiene appointments.
"Teeth for Life" is the aim of modern preventive dentistry. These days when teeth are lost, over 90% of the time it is due to gum problems.
