Although tooth decay is a widespread oral health problem, with an effective oral hygiene regimen and periodic visits for checkups and preventive care at our office, the team at Buena Park Smile Dental can help reduce your family’s risk of dental disease. Our experienced dentist utilize state-of-the-art technology and methods of care to halt the onset and progress of cavities. With a focus on prevention and early intervention, our team helps patients of all ages enjoy the benefits of healthy and beautiful smiles.

Studies show that 90% of adults over the age of 20 have had a cavity, and tooth decay is widespread in the pediatric population as well. In fact, by the age of 17, 78% of children will have had a cavity. Although tooth decay is almost as frequent as the common cold, they are easily preventable. Our dentist recommends biannual examinations and teeth cleanings to protect your smile from tooth decay. During a teeth cleaning, we thoroughly remove any residual plaque buildup from difficult to reach areas between your teeth and gums. Our dentist will also perform a comprehensive examination, assisted by advanced digital radiography, as needed, to diagnose tooth decay from its outset, when it’s typically the easiest to treat. For pediatric patients, we recommend fluoride treatments and the application of dental sealants as an added level of protection against tooth decay. If you or your child is diagnosed with a cavity, our team delivers the most precise and gentle care to remove the decay and restore the tooth with a dental filling. Our office utilizes the latest generation of durable, cosmetically pleasing restorative materials, which blend seamlessly with your smile for natural looking results.

At Buena Park Smile Dental, our goal is to help you and your loved ones maintain excellent oral health. Our dentist delivers personalized, compassionate care to detect, prevent and treat cavities. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, call today.
