What Is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry is a proactive approach to oral health. It includes regular dental visits, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and protective solutions like sealants and mouth guards. These treatments are designed to:

  • Catch issues like decay and gum disease in their earliest stages
  • Reduce the need for extensive future procedures
  • Help you maintain strong, clean, and functional teeth

Preventive care isn’t just for kids—it’s essential at every stage of life.

Our Dental Preventive Care Services

Dental Check-Ups

Routine exams allow us to monitor your oral health, detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, or bite issues, and create a plan that fits your needs. We typically recommend a check-up every six months.

Professional Scale & Clean

Tartar and plaque can build up even with great brushing habits. Our gentle cleanings remove harmful bacteria, polish your teeth, and leave your mouth feeling refreshed.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride helps remineralise enamel and reduce sensitivity. This is especially beneficial for children, teens, or adults prone to tooth decay.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin coatings applied to the grooves of back teeth, acting as a barrier against food and bacteria. These are highly recommended for children, but suitable for some adults as well.

Oral Cancer Screenings

As part of your exam, we check for early signs of oral cancer. The screening is quick and painless—but vital for early detection and peace of mind.

Cannot recommend Dr Joshua Gower more highly!My son had a very painful wisdom tooth coming through requiring immediate attention and Dr Gower was fantastic - offering helpful advice and solutions. According to reports from the patient Dr Gower's anaesthetic delivery is the best and unlike other Dentists, his injections didn't hurt a bit. A very happy patient on the mend now, "The best experience I've ever had at the Dentist" - which is pretty good considering he had a wisdom tooth removed!!Thanks so much 🙂

Preventive dentistry helps you:

Avoid complex and costly treatments

Maintain fresh breath and a cleaner mouth

Reduce your risk of gum disease and tooth loss

Keep your natural teeth for as long as possible
