What is Prevention for Life?

Prevention for Life is a program we developed to help you maintain great oral health throughout your patients’ lifetimes.

We believe in preventive dentistry that ensures optimal oral health at every stage of life. Our program is supported by specific informational tools that help you and your team members successfully treat patients of ALL ages, according to their risk level — and not limited by their insurance reimbursement.

Caries Doesn't Have an Age Limit!

Preventive treatments like fluoride varnish and sealants should be recommended to patients of all ages!

Practice Health.
Why Prevention Is Profitable.

A healthy practices delivers the best health care. Use our easy Practice Health Calculator to assess a more optimal pricing approach that increases patient acceptance, increases patient health and increases practice health. According to many offices, patients often find that 'traditional' fees for fluoride varnish treatment are too costly and they decline treatment. These offices find that when patients are already in the chair, their incremental cost is just $2 (approximately $1 for the fluoride varnish and $1 for 1 minute of application time). These offices find that $20-25 is a reasonable fee and well accepted.

Prevention-Centered Success

CE Credits: 1 CEU

This webinar reviews why restoration alone is not a cure for caries disease and why focusing on strengthening tooth structure and modifying oral biofilms to favor dental health is key. It also emphasizes that dental caries must be managed as a chronic disease throughout a patients’ lifetime and that motivating patients to change is best achieved when the entire dental team is calibrated and committed to a prevention centered approach.

Caries is increasing in the adult patients you treat every day. This CE webinar will address the guidelines and treatment protocols that will help successfully prevent and manage dental decay in this population. We will discuss silver diamine fluoride; break down some of the common misconceptions surrounding its use and demonstrate how you can improve your standard operative/restorative treatment protocol by incorporating SDF into the routine hygiene appointment, whenever clinically appropriate. If you believe SDF is only for pediatric and geriatric patients, this webinar will change your approach.
