<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Proper oral hygiene and regular visits<\/a> to Dr. Michele Claeys are the two best defenses against plaque, the root of most dental problems. Dr. Michele Claeys encourages adult care and prevention that is focused on the fight against plaque, the preservation of natural tooth structure, and early the detection and treatment of serious oral problems.<\/p>\n

Why is care and prevention important for adults?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dental problems tend to get worse when left untreated. When you see Dr. Michele Claeys for regular visits, small problems won\u2019t have a chance to become major concerns. For instance, the longer tooth decay goes unchecked the more damage it can do to a tooth, and the less of the original tooth that can be saved. Good hygiene and dental visits are cost-effective, too. It costs much more to have teeth repaired and replaced than it does to have regular exams and cleanings.<\/p>\n

What kind of care do adults need?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adult care and prevention focuses on preventing tooth decay and gum disease, the preservation of natural tooth structure, and early detection and treatment of serious oral problems.<\/p>\n
