PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY

What is Preventative Dentistry?

Here at SV Dental Centre Melbourne, we want you to be able to enjoy all the benefits associated with good dental health. We want you to feel confident when you smile and to be able to eat without pain or discomfort. Preventative dentistry is the most effective way to maintain good oral health at all times. We focus extensively on preventative dental care and offer a comprehensive range of treatments to protect and maintain healthy teeth and gums. Oral hygiene education is a very important part of preventative dentistry and our friendly dental team can help you gain maximum benefit from your daily regime at home. Our treatments include:

• Regular examinations
• Dietary advice
• Oral hygiene appointments
• Fissure sealants
• Periodontal care
• Fluoride treatments
• Custom-made mouth guards
• Oral hygiene education

When you visit us for regular examinations we can assess your risk of oral health problems to determine if you will benefit from additional dental care treatments. If we feel this might be the case then we will chat to you about any possible treatment options and will encourage you to ask all the questions you need before you make any decisions.

If you are already a regular patient at our practice then you’ll know we encourage you to take all the time you need before you decide on any treatment plan. We will never push you towards a particular choice, but prefer instead to provide you with all the information you need to help you decide.
