Description
Preventing dental disease involves implementing regular oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, promoting access to fluoride, encouraging routine dental check-ups, and reducing sugar consumption. These actions aim to control plaque, prevent cavities and gum disease, and address risk factors early. The strategy focuses on practical measures to maintain oral health, reduce the incidence of dental problems, and minimize the need for costly or invasive dental treatments.
