Why it's important?
At Fridman Family Dental Care we take prevention seriously. Preventive care is the practice of taking care of your teeth to keep them healthy and prevent issues such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. This can include regular check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. It can also involve practicing good oral hygiene at home, such as brushing and flossing regularly and avoiding foods and habits that can damage your teeth. The goal of preventive dentistry is to catch and treat issues early, before they become more serious and costly to fix.
There are several steps you can take to prevent bad oral health:
Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
Floss at least once a day to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth.
Use an antiseptic mouthwash to kill bacteria and freshen your breath.
Limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks, as they can lead to tooth decay.
Don’t smoke or use other tobacco products, as they can stain your teeth and increase your risk of oral cancer.
Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
Wear a mouth guard if you play sports to protect your teeth.
Keep your diet healthy and nutritious, as it affects your overall health, including oral health.
Following these steps can help maintain good oral hygiene, prevent oral problems and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Happy Teeth, Happy life
Healthy teeth are linked to better overall health in several ways. Here are a few examples:
Good oral hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist regularly can help to prevent tooth decay and gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss or bone loss in the jaw.
Nutritional health: Having healthy teeth and gums allows for proper chewing and digestion of food, which can lead to better nutritional health.
Cardiovascular health: Chronic gum disease has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene habits can help to prevent gum disease.
Respiratory health: Poor oral health can lead to infection or inflammation, which can spread to other parts of the body, including the lungs. This can increase the risk of respiratory infections.
Overall well-being: Having healthy teeth and gums can improve self-esteem and confidence, which can lead to better overall well-being.
Overall, maintaining healthy teeth and gums is important for overall health, as oral health is closely linked with the health of other parts of the body.
How we can help you with prevention
At Fridman Family Dental Care we use a combination of advanced treatments to help you maintain good oral hygiene and prevent costly problems in the future.
Laser Periodontal Therapy: Using a soft tissue laser allows us to safely remove diseased tissues in your gum pocket linings without damaging the healthy ones around it and clean away any remaining soft biofilm or calcified bacterial deposits, which contribute to gum infections.

“I’ve been coming here for about a year…Overall, I’ve had great experiences with my cleanings and I feel very comfortable with Dr. Fridman’s care. She is honest and provides helpful preventive care advice for overall oral care. My entire family comes to see her as well and they have also recommended her to friends and family. I had a dental emergency recently and they were able to fit me in same day and see what the issue was. It gave me peace of mind to know they are very accommodating in a stressful time…”

“Dr.Nardys Fridman and her team provided the most amazing experience! I was extremely nervous after avoiding seeing a dentist due to a previous unpleasant experience. After my visit, I highly recommend Dr. Nardys. Her entire office team is also very friendly, warm and professional.”
“Im a new patient, however I’ve been at the clinic now 3 times for a general check up, fillings, veneer replacements. The staff are incredible and the dentists even more so. The procedures were painless (with well placed lidocaine), and even after I had a slight complaint about a sharp filling, they were more than happy to correct it. My teeth feel great now. Aesthetically speaking, the office looks and smells like a beach resort…I highly recommend and am actively trying to convince my family members to switch offices.”
