Preventative Dentistry

Here at Sevenoaks Dental & Wellbeing, our main focus is on preventing you from developing dental disease and avoiding the need for treatment whenever possible.

We enforce that dental decay and gum disease is avoidable by maintaining good oral hygiene and diet, plus lifestyle factors such as not smoking.

We even go beyond that to understand behaviour change about these factors, and what may be preventing you from reaching optimum oral health. For instance, we know that refined sugar is highly addictive and it is not easy for everyone to limit their sugar intake to the recommended three times a day.

We aim to look further at more specific guidance to help you make positive changes and maintain them.

All our dentists and dental professionals are keen to provide tailor-made specific advice for your mouth and lifestyle habits. From helping you to choose the right size interdental brushes, to asking children to keep diet diaries in-between visits.

Did you know that early enamel decay can be reversed before it ever ends up needing a filling?

We have the means and technology to catch these lesions before they lead to invasive treatment.

We are keen to enforce good habits in children to prevent them from ever experiencing the dental disease. We have all the science and education we need to be able to maintain healthy teeth and gums for life.

Especially now, we are living longer than ever, we need to understand oral care in much more detail.
