Preventive

Since childhood we have always learnt that “Prevention is better than cure.” And we always try to practice this in life. We apply sunscreen, lip balms to protect us from the harmful effects of nature. We regularly take our vaccinations to prevent falling prey to various diseases.

In the same way, we have certain procedures in dentistry, which help prevent potential cavities , bad breath etc. They strengthen our tooth structure and often seal the areas which are most prone to decay. Following these protocols from a young age shows a definite improvement in oral hygiene and a marked decrease in dental cavities.  Instead of carrying out treatment procedures after the damage has been done, isn’t it better to prevent it from happening in the first place? After all, it is rightly said- “A stitch in time, saves nine.”
