Westfall Dental - Preventive Dentistry Services
Providing the best family dental services Rochester, New York has to offer.
One of the most important parts of a good dental health program is learning how to properly care for your teeth and gums. When you prevent the onset or progression of periodontal (gum) disease and tooth decay, your teeth should stay healthy and useful throughout your life.
Regular checkups are the first step. Our experienced, licensed dental hygienists will clean your teeth, and then speak with you about how you can get the maximum longevity from your teeth. During your dental exam, one of our doctor’s will check your teeth, supporting structures, soft tissues and jaw alignment while looking for any signs or changes that could indicate possible problems. If potential problems are identified, we’ll work with you to devise a plan to keep you and your smile healthy and happy. As always, we will explain every procedure thoroughly and answer any questions you may have.
Healthy Teeth, Healthy Body
In today’s health-conscious society, there is constant emphasis on proper eating habits, nutrition and fitness. The rise in sales of natural foods, health memberships, athletic equipment and fitness magazines over just the past five years is staggering. What is often overlooked is the direct connection between dental health and health in general. Without healthy teeth, proper chewing and digestion cannot take place therefore leaving the body unable to absorb the nutrients we all need to maintain our health. Those that suffer with oral discomfort often avoid those healthy foods that are recommended the most, such as nuts, grains, raw fruits and vegetables and lean meats.
