At Veemarkt Dental Practice, we strongly believe in preventing problems. Our prevention assistants play a crucial role in this. These specialized professionals work closely with the dentist and dental hygienists to help you keep your mouth healthy and ahead of problems. They are your support in oral health.

The prevention assistant focuses on daily oral care and provides practical, individual guidance. Examples include:

• Thorough cleaning: removing plaque, deposits and incipient tartar above the gums.
• Polishing teeth: For a smooth and clean feeling.
• Fluoride treatments: To strengthen your teeth and protect against cavities.
• Customized oral hygiene instruction: You will learn the best brushing and flossing techniques appropriate to your oral situation.
• Nutritional advice: explaining how nutrition affects your oral health.

The goal of the prevention assistant(s) is to motivate and provide you with the knowledge and skills to keep your mouth in top condition yourself. In this way, you actively contribute to a healthy, fresh smile and reduce the risk of future treatments.

At Veemarkt Dental Practice, for our youngest patients, we work with the Gewoon Gaaf method, developed especially for children.

Why Prevention Is So Important
A healthy mouth is the foundation for a healthy body. Many oral problems, such as cavities and gum disease, are preventable with good oral hygiene and regular checkups. By working preventively, we not only prevent discomfort and pain, but also save you unnecessary costs and invasive treatments in the long run. Prevention is investing in your own health and well-being. It's a proactive approach that goes beyond simply fixing existing problems; it's about preventing problems from arising in the first place.

The Prevention Assistant's Role in Your Care Plan.
Our prevention assistants are essential to the creation and implementation of your personal oral care plan. They work under the supervision of the dentist and dental hygienist, but have their own important role in the daily maintenance of your teeth. They specialize in spotting early signs of problems, such as incipient gum disease, and can take immediate action or refer you to the dentist or dental hygienist for deeper treatment.

They are not only skilled professionals, but also accessible contacts to whom you can turn with all your oral health questions. Whether you have specific questions about the use of interdental brushes, the right toothpaste for sensitive teeth, or need advice on oral care with braces or implants, our prevention assistants are ready to help you with practical tips and personal guidance. They take the time to assess your oral situation and provide customized advice, so you know exactly how to best care for your mouth. All this contributes to a permanently healthy mouth and a confident smile.
