Preventative Dentistry in Altadena

Preventative Measure: 

• Professional Cleanings and Checkups: Routine visits to our office for cleanings and examinations help remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to decay and gum disease if not addressed. Regular exams also allow your trusted dental team to catch potential issues early. 
• Sealants: Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, where decay often starts. They act as a barrier against bacteria and food particles that your toothbrush can’t reach.
• Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride helps to strengthen enamel and prevent tooth decay. Many of our patients benefit from fluoride treatments during regular checkups, especially those at higher risk for cavities. ‍
• Patient Education: Our cosmetic dentist in Altadena will take the time to teach our patients proper brushing, flossing, and dietary habits, all of which play a key role in long-term dental health.
