General Dentistry

General/Preventative Dentistry in Nanaimo, BC

In our journey to a healthier smile, it’s the simple things that matter most – like brushing, flossing, and rinsing. These are the basics of keeping your mouth in great shape. But guess what? They’re just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to taking care of your oral health. That’s where preventative dentistry comes into play. It’s all about preventing issues and keeping your teeth, gums, and the rest of your mouth healthy and happy.

One big part of preventative dentistry is catching problems early. By visiting our general dentists regularly, we can spot potential issues before they become big headaches. We might recommend sealants to protect your teeth from cavities or suggest a fluoride treatment to prevent decay. This early detection can save you from more serious treatments and bigger bills down the road.

But that’s not all! We’re all about educating you too. We love to share their knowledge about your oral health. We’ll explain what’s going on in your mouth and give you tips on how to make it even better. It’s all part of our approach to dentistry here at Lakeside Dental Clinic – keeping you informed and keeping your smile healthy!
