What Is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry involves proactive care to maintain oral health and prevent common dental issues such as cavities, gum disease and enamel wear. We help you avoid potential problems through routine check-ups, cleanings and personalised advice.

Our team at Lifelong Dental works with patients of all ages to ensure every family member benefits from a strong foundation of oral health. From children learning their first brushing techniques to adults managing long-term dental care, we provide expert guidance tailored to your needs.

What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an advanced approach to preventive dental care that targets and removes the sticky, cavity-causing bacteria from your teeth. It utilises a special dye that makes biofilm visible on your teeth, making it easier to provide a more thorough clean and polish. GBT uses a combination of warm water, air and a fine powder, so it’s comfortable for natural teeth and dental restorations. Because the dye allows you to see the plaque buildup on your teeth, it also gives patients a better understanding of their oral hygiene habits and can help them focus on certain areas.

We offer a comprehensive range of preventive dentistry services, including:

• Routine check-ups — Regular dental exams to monitor your oral health and catch issues early
• Professional cleans — Plaque and tartar removal to maintain healthy teeth and gums
• Fluoride treatments — To strengthen enamel and protect against cavities
• Dental sealants — Protective coatings applied to molars to reduce the risk of decay
• Oral hygiene education — Advice on brushing, flossing and dietary choices for optimal oral health
• Mouthguards — Custom-fitted appliances for sports or teeth-grinding protection
• Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) — A gentle cleaning method that removes harmful biofilm, the sticky bacterial layer that can cause tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath

At Lifelong Dental, we are committed to fostering healthy smiles in a friendly, supportive environment. Our skilled team in Lara uses advanced tools and techniques to deliver thorough, personalised care. We work with you to create a prevention plan that fits your lifestyle, ensuring you can easily maintain your oral health.
