The Importance of Preventative Dental Care
Dr. David Rice offers general dentistry and family dentistry for individuals and families throughout the Elgin and Bartlett IL area who are looking for a dental health partner to help them have healthy, beautiful smiles.
Chicagoland patients know they can trust Dr. Rice for advanced dental procedures such as dental crowns and bridges and dental implants, as well as general dentistry procedures such as regular exams and fillings.
Of course, an essential part of general and family dentistry is preventative care.
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.
Exceptional Dental Care Awaits You!
Your smile is our top priority. Don’t wait to get the care you deserve.
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 general and family 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.
