What’s the most important kind of dentistry: cosmetic, emergency or restorative? Dr. Robert Berquist and Dr. Daniel Berquist, Whiting dentist, say preventive dentistry tops them both. Prevention begins at home with routine habits such as twice daily brushing, once a day flossing and eating a tooth-friendly diet. Preventive dentistry also includes six-month oral examinations and hygienic cleanings at Berquist Dentistry. Remember, a smile that’s well maintained requires far less restorative work, such as fillings and crowns. That cared for smile looks, feels and functions better, and the person’s systemic health actually thrives.
