Adjunctive dental therapies are treatments used alongside traditional dental procedures to enhance healing, prevent disease, or improve outcomes. These therapies include options like laser therapy, which can help treat soft tissue problems, or the use of fluoride varnishes to prevent tooth decay.

Antimicrobial agents may also be used to control bacterial growth in the mouth, especially in patients with gum disease or post-surgical care. These therapies support the primary dental treatment by promoting tissue healing, reducing inflammation, or preventing infections.

Adjunctive therapies are especially useful in complex cases or when there is a need to improve the long-term success of primary treatments like restorative procedures, implants, or periodontal therapy.
