Prevention is the cornerstone of maintaining a happy and healthy smile. Strong dental hygiene is essential not only for your oral health but also for preventing systemic disorders such as heart disease, strokes, and respiratory issues. At South Boston Dental Care, we emphasize the importance of preventive care to safeguard your overall well-being.
Our expert hygiene dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth and teeth, offering tailored cleaning procedures and recommending the best oral hygiene products for your needs. They are also trained in the application of Arestin, an antibiotic treatment used to target and eliminate bacteria in problematic areas around the teeth.
The Importance of Dental Hygiene
