The first concern for all patients is prevention of active dental disease. Most dental disease is the result of acute or chronic infections-and virtually all dental disease can be prevented if bacterial plaque activity is controlled on a daily basis. Plaque control programs coupled with good restorative dentistry will give you the means by which you can keep your teeth throughout your lifetime.

Doctors, patients and hygienists share responsiblity for the care and maintenance of remaining teeth, restorations, bridgework, dentures, and soft tissues to ensure that dental health is maintained.
