PREVENTATIVE CARE
The best solution to your dental problems is not having any dental problems in the first place. Easier said than done, though, right? It doesn’t have to be. Preventive care should be your number one priority when it comes to your dental health. Here at Epsom Smiles, we place great emphasis on prevention over cure, providing all our patients with detailed, expert advice on how best to maintain their oral health and stave off any issues. Correct dental hygiene is essential for everyone, regardless of their age, which is why we encourage parents to bring in their children as soon as they grow their first milk teeth.
