Preventive Dentistry in La Mirada

Preventive dentistry is the key to avoiding dental disease and costly procedures later. Our team provides comprehensive preventive dental care procedures and educates our La Mirada patients on daily care techniques. Maintaining healthy teeth saves you money and gives you the confidence of knowing your smile is healthy.

Dental Cleanings (Prophylaxis)

Regular teeth cleaning is essential for your long-term oral health. Our hygienists remove harmful plaque buildup caused by bacteria and food to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. We offer both regular cleaning (prophylaxis) for maintenance and deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) for treating gum disease.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin, protective liquid coatings that bond to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars). These grooves are where most cavities form. Sealant treatment strengthens these areas and blocks bacteria from gathering, effectively preventing decay. This simple, pain-free protection is available at our La Mirada office for both children and adults.

Fluoride Therapy

Fluoride is a natural mineral known to be extremely effective in the prevention of tooth decay. While found in water and toothpaste, professional fluoride treatments provide a higher level of protection. It is an ideal solution for patients prone to cavities or those with sensitive root surfaces.
