What Is Evidence Based Dentistry?
Evidence based dentistry (EBD) is a modern approach to oral health care that integrates three core components:
- Best Available Research: Clinical studies and peer-reviewed findings form the foundation of treatment planning.
- Dentist Expertise: Years of training and experience guide how the research is applied in real-world care.
- Patient Values: Your personal preferences, health history, and comfort level are factored into every decision.
This approach ensures that you receive care that is not only effective, but also appropriate for your individual needs.
