Fortunately, the great majority of dental health issues can be minimized or even completely circumvented by practicing preventive measures such as careful attention to best practices in oral hygiene and making sure to schedule a routine exam and cleaning every six months. During the course of this exam, your dentist will perform a thorough check for the onset of conditions such as tooth decay and gingivitis. A general dental exam also includes oral cancer screenings.

Composite fillings also require less drilling than their traditional counterparts, meaning that less tooth structure will be sacrificed in their installation.
Extraction
