Treatment and prevention

Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is the first step towards lasting oral health. Through simple, effective preventive treatments, you can avoid complex and costly conditions in the future. At the Dr. Radu Dumitru dental practice, preventive care is tailored to each patient’s needs, whatever their age.

What is preventive dentistry?

Preventive dentistry covers all the dental procedures designed to prevent cavities and periodontal disease. Its role is to keep your teeth and gums healthy and to reduce the risk of complex treatments in the future.

The importance of preventive dentistry for oral health

A healthy smile isn’t maintained by daily brushing alone. Professional preventive care complements your home hygiene and offers essential benefits:

preventing cavities and periodontal disease;
reducing plaque and tartar;
early detection of dental problems;
keeping your gums healthy;
maintaining a clean, attractive smile.

Stages of preventive dental care at the Dr. Radu Dumitru Clinic

At every preventive visit, treatment follows clear steps:

Consultation and clinical assessment – the doctor examines the condition of your teeth and gums.
Ultrasonic scaling – removal of tartar and hard deposits.
Professional brushing – cleaning away plaque and surface stains.
Air-flow – a jet of water, air and fine particles for deep cleaning and restoring shine.
Fluoride treatment – applying a protective layer that strengthens the enamel.

Main preventive dental procedures

Depending on your needs, preventive care may include:

Ultrasonic scaling – removes tartar deposited on the tooth surface and under the gum.
Professional brushing – removes plaque and leaves a smooth, clean surface.
Air-flow – gentle cleaning of stains caused by coffee, tea and smoking.
Dental sealants – protect teeth against cavities, especially in children.
Fluoride treatments – strengthen the enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.

Preventive dentistry for children vs. adults

In children, preventive care has an educational and preventive role. Fluoride treatments and dental sealants protect baby teeth and the permanent teeth that are still forming.
In adults, preventive care helps keep the gums healthy and prevent periodontal disease, and it is essential for the longevity of natural teeth and dental work.

The risks of neglecting preventive dental care

Neglecting preventive dental care can lead to:

tooth decay;
gum inflammation and recession;
periodontal disease (periodontitis);
tooth loss in the long term;
complex and costly treatments, such as implants or prosthetic work.
