Preventive Dentistry
Its relevance and impact on Health
Preventive dentistry aims to avoid permanent damage to the teeth and gums, which can affect esthetics, masticatory function, and speech.
It is based on three fundamental pillars: education, health, and prevention. For this reason, it is vital for the well-being of people since it influences their quality of life, self-esteem, and relationship with others. A healthy mouth allows you to enjoy a varied diet, facilitates communication and expression, and contributes to disease prevention.

They facilitate more effective, safe, and comfortable treatments thanks to techniques such as laser, 3D printing, or computer-guided surgery.
And, they improve communication and education with patients thanks to devices such as screens, intelligent toothbrushes, or mobile applications.
