Preventive dentistry in Bilbao
Preventive dentistry is the approach that prioritises keeping the mouth healthy instead of treating problems already established. It includes regular check-ups, professional cleanings, sealants, fluoride applications and hygiene education. The idea is simple: detect and stop decay and gum problems at their earliest stage, when the solution is minimal, and build habits that prevent them from coming back.

What you ask us most
How often should I get a check-up?
For most people, once a year is enough. If you are prone to decay or gum problems, smoke or have other risk factors, it may be every 6 months. We tell you the frequency that suits you.
What does a preventive check-up include?
An examination of teeth and gums, a review of fillings and previous work, and often a professional cleaning. If needed, a control X-ray to detect decay not visible to the naked eye.
Is prevention only for children?
No. It is for all ages. In children it prevents decay and monitors development; in adults it prevents tooth loss from decay or gum disease, which is the main cause of tooth loss. It is never too late to prevent.
Is it worth preventing if nothing hurts?
Yes, precisely because of that. Many problems (decay, gum disease) do not hurt until they are advanced. Prevention detects them before they cause symptoms, when the solution is simple and cheap.
What can I do at home to prevent?
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, use floss or interdental brushes daily, moderate sugar between meals and never skip the annual check-up. With that and professional cleanings, most problems are avoided.
