The goal of preventive dentistry is to prevent any pathology, cavities, infections, etc. from ever happening to any patient. It is achieved by placing the patient on a regular periodic maintenance, i.e. for periodic dental checkups. Also by ensuring the patient is mainting good oral hygiene on a regular, consistent basis.
Preventive dentistry involves any dental procedures or protocols that attempt to preserve oral hard tissues (teeth) and soft tissues (gums) in good health. Common examples of preventive dentistry include regular checkups, regular cleanings, fluoride treatment and fissure sealants.

At a regular check up your dentist will search for signs of dental disease (like cavities and gingivitis) but can also search for risk factors which may lead to dental disease. For example, a dry mouth puts you at higher risk of getting cavities. Additionally, dentists can also check for signs of oral cancer.
