Preventive dentistry
Any disease is easier and better to prevent than to treat. This also applies to dentistry. Preventive measures help combat such common diseases as caries and periodontitis, preventing their development into pulpitis, advanced periodontitis, and other complications.
Prevention involves a comprehensive approach that includes limiting sugar intake, eliminating bad habits, and strengthening the immune system.
Preventive dentistry consists of several stages:
To maintain oral health, it is necessary to brush your teeth twice a day with a toothbrush and toothpaste — this is an axiom. It is also highly recommended to use dental floss and an irrigator, especially if you have crowded teeth or prosthetic structures.
Professional cleaning should be done every six months to a year, depending on how quickly plaque forms. At the clinic Polyclinic.ae, experienced hygienists will select the appropriate cleaning method based on the amount of plaque and calculus present.
It is also recommended to visit a dental therapist with the same frequency to detect caries and other diseases at early stages. If necessary, they will perform an X-ray or CT scan and develop a treatment plan. When required, the therapist may refer the patient to a periodontist or surgeon.
At the medical center Polyclinic.ae, skilled specialists work who regularly improve their qualifications, undergo training and internships not only in local but also in international clinics.
You can rely on the accuracy of medical examinations since all diagnostics are performed using the latest equipment. After all, the effectiveness of treatment depends on an accurate diagnosis.
