Preventative dental care is essential for preventing the onset of dental diseases. If you do not brush and floss regularly, you increase your chances of developing gingivitis (reversible) and periodontitis (irreversible). Preventative dental care is the practice of caring for your teeth to keep them healthy. Brushing and flossing your teeth 2-times per day along with a professional dental cleaning 2-times per year is highly recommended for preventative measures of dental care.
Restorative dental care is when a tooth has to be restored due to dental disease or injury.
