Why is Preventive Dentistry Important?
Proper preventive dentistry isn't simply about making sure you don't have any cavities or cleaning the tartar from your gum line. It is a comprehensive approach to maintaining and preserving the oral health of you and your family. By brushing, flossing, and having regular dental checkups, our team can help you lay the foundations for a happier and healthier future.
Poor oral health has been proven to increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, certain types of cancer, and other systemic disorders. This is why we are so passionate about the health of your mouth. By focusing on preventive dental care, we can help avert gum disease and other oral health problems to promote your body's wellness. We commit to giving you the best treatment options dentistry has to offer.
Caring and Experienced Dental Prevention Services
Our Long Beach dentist and his team provide the best preventive treatment options for you and your family. While you're with us, you can expect us to do everything in our power to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. Once we've inspected your mouth and gained an understanding of your current oral health, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs, budget, and desired results. Our services include:
Education for a Lifetime of Oral Health
Visiting the dentist alone won't keep your teeth and smile healthy. Your family’s oral health begins at home with proper routines and habits. Our team takes the time during your visit to help give you the tools you need for promoting optimal oral hygiene at home. We also know that helping kids understand the value of brushing, flossing, and nutritious eating can be a challenge. By using age-appropriate language, we help your children see the value of a healthy mouth and how taking care of their teeth can be fun.
We want to be a trusted partner to you and your family. Whether it's gum disease prevention, teeth cleanings, or one of our many other services, we'll make sure you're well informed about all your options for treatments and prevention. By scheduling regular dental visits, usually once every six months, we can help ensure you are set up for good long-term oral health.
What to Expect During Your Dental Visit
Our dental team wants there to be no surprises when you visit us. We are a group of highly skilled professionals, ready and able to find solutions to all your dental health needs. With each visit, you'll leave with a complete understanding of your health and what to anticipate in the future regarding your treatment options.
Comprehensive Dental Exam
Beginning with a detailed exam of your current oral health, you can expect us to screen for:
Gum Disease – We examine the gums and bone surrounding your teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
Oral Cancer – We visually inspect your face, neck, tongue, throat, and gums for any indication of oral cancer.
Tooth and Jaw Decay – We use specialized dental instruments to check your teeth and jawbone for decay.
Examination of Existing Restorations – We take the time to make sure your current fillings, crowns, and other restorations are still intact and strong.
We also employ an intraoral camera throughout your exam. In real-time, you'll be able to see on a screen next to you exactly what our team sees. This visual aid allows us to clearly show you the current state of your mouth and why certain treatment options are important.
Thorough Dental Cleaning in Long Beach
Our compassionate and skilled dental hygienist will then thoroughly clean your mouth to provide the best shine and health possible. Cleanings include:
Tartar Removal – Tartar is the hardened plaque that attaches itself to the surface of the tooth. Using specialized dental tools, we will remove the tartar from above and below your gum line.
Plaque Removal – Plaque is an almost invisible film containing bacteria that attaches to your teeth. The acids that these bacteria produce are what damages your teeth and gums. We clean away plaque to help stop the inflammation of your gums and the formation of tartar.
Flossing – Using special techniques and a clearer point of view, our hygienists will floss your teeth to ensure the removal of hard-to-reach plaque and food debris.
Teeth Polishing – With special toothpaste and brushes, we will shine your teeth to help remove surface stains and any remaining plaque.
