In the practice of Medicine there are hundreds of diseases and conditions afflicting people, which compete for the attention of doctors and researchers, who seek to treat, and occasionally prevent, these maladies of mankind. In the field of Dentistry we are very lucky to have only two primary disease entities, which account for almost all of dental disease. These are CAVITIES and GUM DISEASE. And these two diseases are PREVENTABLE!

A large body of knowledge exists and revolutionary changes have occurred in our understanding of cavities and gum disease. With this knowledge, Preventive Dentistry can go far beyond simple "brushing and flossing." Dentists and hygienists rarely get cavities or gum disease. What do they know and do, that you do not?

Which is the best toothbrush to use? When is the best time to brush? Electric vs. manual? What is the benefit of brushing in the shower? What is the downside to some "whitening" toothpastes? Which toothpaste is best? What is a simple technique to increase 20-fold the effectiveness of the fluoride when you brush? Are mouth rinses a waste of time? How can dental sealants benefit adults? What are "rechargeable" fluoride emitting fillings and how do they "turn off" the decay process?

At Lasting Impressions Dentistry, we will tell you the answers to all these questions and more. Then we will tell you what we personally do to prevent dental disease. We want you to have every tip and trick available to keep your smile healthy for a lifetime.
