PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY
If it doesn’t hurt, why fix it?
Dental Care seems to be something that is often put off for a later date. The problem with this is that smaller problems that do not cause pain turn into larger problems that are more involved and more expensive to fix.
Dental care is a series of preventing larger problems. Good oral health enhances our ability to speak, smile, eat, and show our emotions through facial expressions.
