The importance of preventive dentistry
Preventive dentistry is a unique approach to oral health. Instead of being reactive about oral health issues such as periodontal disease and cavities, our team at Wahlen Dentistry encourages Perry, Utah, patients to be proactive about their smiles. This plays a vital role in helping patients achieve and maintain proper oral health and wellness–and keep problems such as decay and disease at bay!
What are the primary benefits of preventive dental services?
