Preventative Dental Care

Healthy Smiles Start with Preventive Dental Care Services

Maintaining a healthy smile begins with regular oral health habits like brushing your teeth and flossing. But a toothbrush alone will not prevent cavities or other oral health complications, which is why it is still important to keep your regular dental exams and check-ups.

Preventative dental care includes oral X-rays and scans, routine cleanings, and other protective measures, like dental sealants. At our Norwalk office, we will check for early signs of gum disease and take care of emerging problems before they become serious dental concerns.

PREVENTIVE DENTAL CARE SERVICES: HOW WE CAN MAKE YOU SMILE

Here’s what to expect when you visit Alondra Dental Care for preventative dental care in Norwalk.

Dental Exams and Checkups: From physical examinations to X-rays, our check-ups are designed to give you a better overview of your oral health, give us insight into your daily habits so we can provide you with proper oral care advice, and help us determine what the next steps are in your dental care journey.
Child Dentistry: Equipping your child with the right oral care skills and making sure their smile is healthy is especially important as they develop. Finding the right preventative care in Norwalk is easy with Alondra Dental Care. We not only care for children’s smiles but also provide younger ones with comfortable, safe experiences so they enjoy their subsequent visits to the dentist’s office!
Teeth Cleaning: Routine cleanings are critical to oral health, eliminating plaque and tartar that accumulate despite regular brushing and flossing. This is one of the first services we recommend for a new patient at the dentist.
Dental Sealants: Dental sealants prevent plaque and acids from affecting the enamel, especially in the deep grooves in the teeth that brushing and flossing can’t quite reach.
Deep Teeth Cleaning: Some cleanings require scaling and root planing to combat plaque and calculus so you can move forward with a clean smile. These procedures do not require surgery, making them an excellent alternative to other deep cleaning methods.

Regardless of your oral health history, we’re here to provide you with continued preventive dental care services so you can retain your natural smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is preventive dentistry?

Preventative dental care involves taking care of your pearly whites to avoid common dental problems like enamel wear, cavities, and gum disease. A key aspect of preventative dentistry is visiting the dentist regularly (twice a year) to identify and fix problems promptly, along with flossing daily, brushing twice a day, and consuming a diet that is low in sugar and rich in nutrients.

What is considered preventive dental care?

Preventative dental treatment includes more than just regular dental appointments and excellent oral hygiene at home. It also includes fluoride treatments, as fluoride may help strengthen your tooth enamel (your teeth’s hard covering) to make it more decay-resistant. Another aspect of preventative dental treatment is dental sealants, thin coatings applied to your premolars’ and molars’ chewing surfaces to keep cavities at bay by blocking food particles and bacteria. X-rays can also help your dentist detect hidden problems, like cavities between your teeth, wisdom teeth that have become impacted, or bone loss.

Who benefits most from preventive oral care?

Everybody can benefit from preventative dental care, but children especially gain advantages since their adult teeth are newly developed. Preventive care can help ensure their permanent pearly whites come in healthy and strong. Adults with risk factors like diabetes or smoking, which can affect healing in the mouth, can also benefit from preventative care.
