Preventive Dentistry

At Horizon Family Dentistry in Peterborough, Preventive Dentistry is at the core of our Dental Hygiene Program for children and adults. The goal is to shift the focus of your dental care from treating dental problems to maintaining oral wellness and good health. Preventive dental care occurs before you experience tooth pain, swelling or bleeding gums and is designed to prevent or delay the onset of dental disease.

Preventive Care in a Dental Setting Includes:

Check-ups & dental cleanings
Oral examinations
Oral cancer screenings
Dental x-rays
Fluoride treatments
Dental sealants
Sports guards and nightguards
Wisdom teeth extractions
Dental Fillings

Why Use Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry is important because it helps you stay healthy and access prompt treatment when necessary, and it can also help reduce your overall dental expenses.

Stay healthier and get more effective treatment

At Horizon Family Dentistry we can help you catch the dental disease before it starts. Starting treatment or lifestyle changes before a dental disease starts or while it is still in its early stages will help you stay healthier or recover more quickly.

Pay less for dental expenses

Preventive dental care saves you money in two ways. First, preventive dentistry helps lower the long-term cost of managing dental disease because it helps catch problems in the early stages when most diseases are more readily treatable. Second, many preventive dentistry services are covered by dental insurance, which means they cost less if you have health insurance.
