PREVENTIVE TREATMENT
PREVENTIVE DENTAL TREATMENT IN SINGAPORE
Maintaining excellent oral health starts with regular preventive dental care. Routine dental check-ups and professional cleanings help identify early signs of dental concerns, allowing timely intervention to avoid more complex procedures in the future.
​
Preventive dental treatments are essential for preserving healthy teeth and gums, promoting overall wellness for adults and their families. Typical preventive services include dental examinations, professional cleaning, fluoride applications, and dental sealants.
ROUTINE DENTAL CHECK-UPS
Scheduling a dental check-up every six months is widely recommended to monitor and maintain oral health. These appointments allow your dentist to assess your teeth, gums, and bite, identifying any potential issues before they develop further.
PROFESSIONAL TEETH CLEANING
Professional teeth cleaning, also known as scaling and polishing (or dental prophylaxis), is a thorough procedure that removes plaque and hardened tartar from your teeth—especially in areas that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. Scaling removes these deposits above and below the gumline, while polishing smooths the tooth surfaces to help prevent plaque from reforming.
​
Left untreated, tartar buildup can lead to gum inflammation, bad breath, and the early stages of gum disease. If not addressed in time, this may progress to more serious conditions that require further care. Learn more about how we manage gum disease on our Periodontal Treatment page.
​
Routine professional cleaning not only helps maintain a clean, fresh smile but also plays a key role in protecting long-term oral health. During your visit, we’ll ensure a comfortable experience and provide guidance to help you maintain effective oral care at home.
FLUORIDE TREATMENT
Fluoride applications strengthen tooth enamel, increasing resistance to decay. This preventive measure complements daily oral hygiene practices and professional cleanings to provide an extra layer of protection against cavities.
DENTAL SEALANTS
Sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They help prevent decay in grooves and pits where food particles can accumulate, offering especially effective cavity prevention for children and adults alike.
