Cleanings & Prevention

A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.

Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.

Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.

Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.

Testimonials

Dr. Lopez,
I just wanted to let you know, we went to your office for new patient appointments for my 5 year old twin girls and had a wonderful experience. It was great, from the sign in the entry welcoming Sara & Isabel, to the very wonderful dental hygienists, to your wonderful on-the-spot teaching & showing me my girls' xrays and how their permanent teeth were looking in the gums. WOW! I was so impressed and thrilled with the whole experience!
