Preventive Dentistry:
Healthy Teeth are Happy Teeth!
In addition to a philosophy of gentle care, Dr. Postel strongly advocates for preventative dentistry. We believe in caring for teeth before you have problems. This is a highly efficient approach to treatment that’s also much more affordable in the long run.
That is why we stress the importance of dental cleanings and checkups every 6 months. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends regular cleanings and checkups to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Studies have shown that such cleanings can help particularly high-risk patients have healthier teeth and gums. It even helps breathing problems like asthma and lung infections!
