What is
Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dentistry is all about oral health maintenance and dental prevention by protecting your teeth and gums before issues arise. Through regular dental check-ups, cleanings, and at-home guidance, we reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, enamel wear, and other concerns—so you can enjoy a healthy smile for life.
Why is Preventive Dental Care Important?
The importance of preventive dentistry and regular dental check-ups is that they help you:
- Catch issues early before they get costly
- Maintain better daily habits through tailored advice
- Detect signs of oral cancer or gum disease early
- Support healthy teeth, gums, and fresh breath
- Build confidence with ongoing, supportive care

Frequently Asked Questions
01Does your diet affect your teeth?
Yes, sugary or acidic foods can erode enamel and cause decay. A balanced diet is essential for dental prevention, strong teeth and healthy gums.
02How often should I visit for preventive dental care?
We recommend visiting Harley Private Dental for preventive dental services in Sheffield every 6 to 12 months, or as recommended based on your oral health.
03Do diabetics need special dental care?
Yes. Diabetics are more likely to develop gum disease, so regular preventive dental care and good hygiene are essential.
04Is brushing and flossing once a day enough?
We recommend brushing twice a day and flossing once a day for good oral health maintenance. Brushing just once may leave plaque and bacteria behind, increasing your risk of decay and gum disease.
