PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

The most common cause of tooth loss in adults is due to bad oral hygiene techniques!

Good oral hygiene is necessary throughout one's lifespan! Inadequate oral health may lead to tooth loss and has even been connected with Respiratory Disease, High Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Diseases; such as arteriosclerosis, angina, high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes.
