Preventive Dentistry in Burnaby
At Burnaby Gentle Dental, we believe that prevention is the foundation of a healthy, confident smile. Through regular dental exams and professional cleanings, we help detect issues early and keep your teeth and gums in their best shape.
What It Is & How It Works
Preventive dentistry focuses on stopping dental problems before they begin.
It includes routine dental exams to check your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health, and professional cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that daily brushing can’t reach.
By combining both, we help you maintain long-term oral wellness and reduce the need for extensive treatments later.
Who Needs This Treatment
Everyone — from children to adults — benefits from regular dental exams and cleanings every six months. It’s especially important for patients prone to cavities, gum sensitivity, or staining.
