CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY

What is conservative dentistry?

Conservative dentistry preserves the teeth in the mouth as much as possible. Dentists performing procedures to remove damaged or diseased tissue attempt to limit the amount of healthy tooth removed, and focus on procedures that will conserve the teeth when it is a viable option. If the patient’s tooth is too badly damaged to save, extractions may be considered.  Braces,teeth whitening, and regular cleanings can also be available through a dental practice that focuses on tooth conservation.

A variety of approaches can be used in conservative dentistry to control the operating field and treat the tooth.

Once the dentist has cleaned the tooth thoroughly, filling can be added to preserve the integrity and prevent a recurrence by sealing the opening.
