Preventive dentistry helps avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more. Our team at Sharyland Family Dentistry provides you with the dental health information you need to maintain good dental hygiene. Dr. Richard M. M. Lee will work closely with you to make sure you are able to keep your mouth free of disease and decay and encourages you to take a proactive approach to your dental health to prevent dental problems before they occur.

You can keep your teeth healthy by keeping good oral hygiene practices every day such as:

• Gentle daily brushing & flossing
• Regular professional dental cleanings
• Regular checkups

The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist regularly. People with very little risk of cavities or gum disease can do fine seeing their dentist twice a year. People with a high risk of dental disease might need to visit every three or four months, or more. You can greatly reduce your risk of getting cavities, gingivitis, periodontitis, and other dental problems. This, in turn, can reduce your risk of secondary problems caused by poor oral health
