Preventive Dentistry

As important as daily dental hygiene is, it cannot replace regular dental checkups and professional cleanings. Our North Hollywood preventive dentistry specialist will clean your teeth of all plaque and tartar buildup and polish them to a shine, which makes it harder for bacteria to reattach. Our dentist will also examine your teeth for any signs or symptoms that could indicate dental diseases, which are more treatable when diagnosed early. If you smoke, drink heavily, have certain health conditions or use certain medications, our dentist may make other recommendations that can help you reduce your risk of certain lifestyle- or health-related dental conditions.

In some cases, our expert for preventive dentistry in North Hollywood may make specific treatment recommendations that can help you maintain good dental health and prevent infection, decay or other problems. Orthodontics, dental sealants, fluoride treatments and mouth guards can all help improve dental hygiene, reduce your risk of tooth decay and help protect your teeth from damage.
