Prevention

Darling Dentistry believes that the best dentistry is the least dentistry. This is why we strongly encourage regular exams and advise preventative methods for patients, which vary depending on diagnoses and risk factors.

By making small investments in preventative options and time each day on your oral health, you can often save the need for larger investments both financially and in time that arise from larger issues down the line.

Some examples of preventative options include fluoride in various forms, dental sealants, home care such as brushing and flossing, and professional dental prophylaxis (regular cleanings for those with localized to no gum disease).
