PREVENTION & CONTROL
In our holistic dental practice at Instituut Marie, prevention and control are a joint effort between the dentist and the preventive assistant. We see our clients every six months for a check-up, allowing us not only to monitor the health of their teeth but also their overall oral health.
Why Prevention & Control
Regular check-ups are crucial as they enable us to provide preventive care and intervene early before serious problems arise. When disease symptoms manifest, we often observe a disturbance in the mouth that can also indicate broader health issues. Semiannual appointments allow us to detect imbalances in a timely manner, discuss them, and determine the underlying causes. This helps us guide clients towards sustainable health.
Method
During periodic check-ups, the dentist and preventive assistant not only check the teeth and gums but also the oral mucosa and other indicators of oral health. Our approach includes:
- Screening and Diagnosis: We conduct thorough inspections to detect early signs of gum inflammation, caries, or other abnormalities. We also monitor wear on teeth and issues related to the jaw joint, such as pain or grinding.
- Preventive Care: This includes professional cleaning, removing plaque and tartar, and polishing teeth to prevent further buildup.
- Holistic Approach: Besides physical checks, we discuss lifestyle, nutrition, and other factors affecting oral health. We offer advice and guidance to improve and maintain oral health.
- Personal Care: We take time to answer questions and address concerns, offering tailored advice and treatment plans. This approach ensures that we not only treat symptoms but also work on restoring and maintaining the overall health of our clients. Regular contact enables us to achieve sustainable results and contribute to a better quality of life.For more information about our preventive care and other holistic treatments, visit our website or contact us.
