Cleanings & Prevention

A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.

Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.

Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.

Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.

“I first started coming to Kids Dental Care in Bristol when I was interested in getting braces. I came to the office and immediately felt how friendly all of the staff were. They always remembered my name and asked about my hobbies and school. I successfully completed my orthodontic treatment in about 1 year and have since been going to Kids Dental Care for regular 6 month cleanings and any restorative work that I need.

It was the best dentist I have ever been to. Even though I had to drive so far, I will continue to use Kids Dental for my daughter“
