Preventive Dentistry in Dubai

Preventive dentistry is a mix of consistent checkups with healthy habits such as brushing and flossing. Preventive dentistry sustains good oral health. It includes regular check-ups or exams every six months, teeth brushing and flossing, and routine X-rays.

Dentists that specialize in preventive dental care are called general dentists or pediatric dentists. General dentists give their patients instructions on how to maintain oral hygiene and give them regular appointments. During these regular appointments, dentists conduct teeth cleanings, exams, X-rays, and dental fillings (if needed). Moreover, they can recognize potential issues before they arise or worsen. Pediatric dentists (children’s dentists) specialize in dental care for children. The majority of kids begin with dental care when their first tooth becomes visible. Pediatric dentists see their patients (children) regularly until their teens.

Dental Scaling

All patients experience plaque buildup on their teeth. The plaque buildup is caused by the saliva and bacteria in the mouth. This creates thin layers that cover the patient’s teeth all the time. Consequently, food particles and sugars get stuck on this layer. This causes bacteria, and if left untreated, the bacteria lead to gum disease and tooth decay. Dentists use dental scaling to eliminate the plaque which is built up on the teeth. Dentists carry out dental scaling for their patients as part of the routine checkup every six months. Patients who don’t commit to their regular checkup appointments are more prone to develop healthy conditions. For example, leaving plaque for a long time affects the teeth and might cause inflammation of the gum.

Dental scaling and teeth polishing go hand in hand. When done together, they offer cosmetic benefits to the patients’ teeth, freshens the patients’ breath, and helps prevent tooth decay. Dental polishing is usually the final step of a teeth cleaning appointment. During this appointment, the dentists assess the patients’ teeth for any decay. Then, plaque is eliminated from the teeth’s surface through dental scaling. Finally, the patients’ teeth are polished to eliminate staining, and a protective fluoride coat is applied.

Preventive Dentistry FAQs


Preventive dentistry is dental care that helps maintain good oral health. It’s a combination of regular dental check-ups along with developing good habits like brushing and flossing. Taking care of your teeth starts early in childhood and extends throughout the course of your life.


Most people don’t know this, but you should visit twice a year for dental cleanings and check-ups. Some people think that once they reach adulthood, they no longer need to come twice a year, but
that’s quite untrue. It’s more important than ever for adults to continue bi-annual visits to allow teeth to remain healthy for the rest of their lives.


X-rays are a useful diagnostic tool that allows a dentist to detect potential disease or damage to teeth and jaw bones that are not visible during a routine dental exam.


Preventive dentistry services may include: Regular oral exams,
usually every 6 months, teeth cleaning and routine X-rays.


With good dental hygiene, 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. Some health problems that may be linked to poor oral health are diabetes, heart disease,
cancer, osteoporosis and respiratory disease.
