Preventive dentistry focuses on identifying and addressing small problems before they require extensive treatment. Regular exams, cleanings, and screenings often allow issues such as cavities, gum inflammation, and enamel wear to be treated early. This proactive approach can help reduce the need for more complex procedures such as crowns, root canals, tooth extractions, or dental implants.
