Why treat dental conditions if you can prevent them through prophylaxis?
Preventive Care Services: Since ancient times, people have sought and discovered various methods for cleaning teeth and maintaining oral health. The earliest efforts in this regard date back to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Today, preventive care for dental issues is more crucial than ever, aiming to avert diseases or complications that can be challenging and extremely painful to treat later on. Trident Clinic provides guidance on oral hygiene practices, including proper brushing techniques, the use of interdental floss and brushes, as well as hygiene maintenance for fixed and removable prosthetic works and implant-supported restorations.
