The Time to Act Is Now Preventive Care vs. Reactive Care

When it comes to oral health, there are two approaches: preventive care and reactive care. Preventive care means acting before problems start. Reactive care means waiting until damage is obvious — and harder to fix.

The Preventive Approach
Cleanings, biofilm testing, guided growth for kids, airway screenings — these are proactive tools that stop problems before they grow.

The Reactive Approach
Fillings, crowns, extractions, or airway surgery — these happen when small problems weren’t caught early. Reactive care is always more invasive, more expensive, and more stressful.

Why Prevention Matters

  • Saves money in the long run.
  • Protects overall health (gum disease links to heart and brain health).
  • Preserves natural teeth and airway development.

(Conclusion)
The best time to act is now, not after damage has occurred.
