The easiest and most economical way to keep teeth healthy and avoid expensive dental procedures is to practice good dental hygiene. This means having a regular routine of brushing teeth twice daily and flossing regularly. A balanced diet that limits sugar intake is important, as a buildup of sugar on teeth will form plaque. If recommended by their dentist, patients should also rinse with fluoride.

In addition to daily brushing, teeth should be professionally cleaned in a dentist's office. Teeth cleaning removes plaque from teeth, which prevents cavities and gum disease. Teeth cleaning is normally done during a patient's scheduled annual appointment. If a patient is a smoker or prone to gum infections, professional cleaning is done more frequently.

Digital radiography is the use of digital images, rather than traditional X-rays, to view images of teeth, gums, and bones to diagnose dental issues and problems. Digital Radiography offers both the Dentist and the patient two important advantages. First, a digital radiograph appears on a CRT screen immediately after it is taken. This avoids the time and cost required to process traditional x-ray film. Second, digital radiographs require almost no radiation exposure, which is clearly preferred by patients.

An Intraoral camera is a pen-sized wand, with a fiber optic camera built into the tip, that captures live-action visual images from inside the patient's mouth. The camera allows both Dentist and patient to visualize in high definition any conditions or problems with the patient's teeth and mouth.
