Oral Hygiene and Preventive Care

Southern California Family Dentistry - Whittier, Lake Forest, San Clemente - Oral Exam

A preventive program involves a joint commitment between the patient, dentist, and dental team to safeguard natural teeth and supporting structures by thwarting the initiation, progression, and recurrence of dental issues. Effective prevention of dental ailments commences at home through proper oral hygiene and a balanced diet. This endeavor persists within the dental office, where your dentist and dental hygienist work to advocate, restore, and sustain your oral well-being.

Integral aspects of prevention encompass regular dental check-ups, cleanings, and x-rays. Treatments like sealants and fluoride application also serve as excellent preventive measures in safeguarding teeth. Prevention plays a pivotal role in averting severe and costly dental complications while being the cornerstone for a healthy, confident, and beautiful smile.
