Frequently Asked Questions

Problems that are anticipated to occur can often be prevented through simple preventive procedures, thereby reducing the need for more advanced treatments in the future. In many cases, preventing a problem altogether is far better than treating it after it develops. Preventive dentistry makes this possible. For example, in individuals with a high risk of tooth decay, fluoride applications and fissure sealants can be used when necessary to protect the teeth from the outset. Habits such as thumb sucking and infantile swallowing can negatively affect jaw development, alter the shape of the palate, and disrupt the relationship between the teeth. When these habits are identified during the growth period, appropriate appliances can be used to eliminate them and help prevent skeletal problems before they become established. In this way, conditions that might otherwise require complex treatment later in life can often be managed at an early stage. Similarly, appliances prepared for individuals who clench or grind their teeth can help prevent or reduce temporomandibular joint problems and protect the teeth from excessive wear. Orthodontic problems that are detected during the growth and development period can also often be managed by guiding and supporting jaw development. This may not only help prevent more severe orthodontic problems in the future but, in certain cases, may also contribute to reducing the risk of future sleep-related problems. Even simply learning and maintaining proper oral hygiene can help prevent many dental and gum diseases.
