Dental Prevention Varna
Preventive dentistry is the most effective way to maintain healthy teeth. The investment in prevention is far smaller than the cost of treating cavities, periodontitis or tooth loss. Dr. Yordanova offers a full preventive package for both children and adults.
Why prevention matters
- Prevents cavities and periodontitis before they develop
- Detects early problems when treatment is easiest and least costly
- Builds good home care habits
- Preserves natural teeth for life
- Saves significant treatment costs in the future
What the preventive package includes
- Preventive examination – full assessment of teeth, gums and bite
- Digital X-ray – when needed, to detect hidden cavities
- Ultrasonic scaling and Air Flow – removal of plaque, tartar and stains
- Fluoride therapy – application of fluoride varnish to strengthen enamel

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should prevention start for children?
The first dental visit is recommended by age 3 or when the first tooth erupts. Early visits build a positive attitude towards the dentist and allow early intervention.
What are fissure sealants?
Sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the deep grooves of molars where the toothbrush struggles to reach. They isolate these vulnerable areas and reduce cavity risk by up to 70%. Recommended immediately after the eruption of 6-year and 12-year molars.
Is fluoride safe?
Yes – fluoride at recommended doses is safe and effective. It strengthens enamel and makes teeth more resistant to decay. Fluoride varnish applied in the dental surgery twice a year is a standard preventive procedure.
How often should I come for prevention?
The standard recommendation is every 6 months. For children with active cavities or patients with periodontitis – every 3–4 months.
What toothbrush and toothpaste should I use?
Dr. Yordanova will recommend a personalised hygiene plan at your check-up. As a general guide: a soft toothbrush (or electric), fluoride toothpaste with 1000–1450 ppm fluoride and daily flossing.
