Preventive Dentistry

Our Beverly Hills preventive dentistry specialist is committed to providing you with the information and procedures you need to prevent most common dental health problems. Preventative dentistry is the field of dentistry that seeks to prevent problems before they arise.

Good dental hygiene plays a major role in preventative dentistry. We recommend that our patients brush their teeth two times a day or after meals and floss their teeth at least once a day. Brushing with a soft-bristled brush can help reduce the risk of gum damage or enamel loss, and using fluoride toothpaste can help your teeth stay stronger. Regularly removing the plaque from the surfaces of your teeth can reduce tartar buildup and limit the amount of bacteria in your mouth.

Routine checkups at least two times a year can also help you keep your teeth and gums cleaner, stronger and healthier. Even with the best dental hygiene habits, you can still have plaque or tartar buildup on your teeth. Hard-to-reach areas in the back of your mouth or along the gumline are often difficult to clean thoroughly, which can lead to mineralized deposits, or tartar, forming. Tartar can harbor dangerous oral bacteria and irritate the gums, which increases the risk for gum disease. Our specialist for preventive dentistry in Beverly Hills will thoroughly clean your teeth, remove these deposits and polish the surface of your teeth to leave them sparkling clean.

Our Beverly Hills dentist may offer other preventive treatments at your cleaning and exam. Fluoride can strengthen your teeth while dental sealants can prevent bacteria and debris from settling into the pits and fissures of your molars. A dental checkup by our Beverly Hills preventive dentistry expert will also include careful evaluation of your overall dental health and dental education opportunities.
