Preventive Dentistry

Preventative Dentistry is the cornerstone of good oral health. At Select Dental Office, we are committed to helping our patients in Torrance maintain healthy smiles through proactive dental care. Our Preventative Dentistry services are designed to prevent new cavities, manage periodontal health, and preserve restored teeth, ensuring a foundation of health that supports not just your oral condition but your overall health as well.

Routine Dental Exams & Cleanings: Regular exams allow us to diagnose issues before they escalate into serious problems. During cleanings, we remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home can't handle, which helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a natural mineral that builds strong teeth and prevents cavities. Our professional fluoride treatments reinforce the enamel, making your teeth more resistant to decay.

Dental Sealants: Sealants are applied to the biting surfaces of back teeth where decay occurs most often. This simple preventative measure can protect teeth from decay for many years.

Oral Cancer Screenings: As part of every dental checkup, we conduct oral cancer screenings to detect early signs of cancer, which is crucial for successful treatment.

Gum Disease Screening: We check for signs of periodontal disease, a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Early detection means a better prognosis and simpler, more effective treatment.

Education on Proper Oral Hygiene Practices: We empower our patients with knowledge about good oral hygiene techniques, including proper brushing and flossing. This education is crucial as it complements our in-clinic preventative measures.

Preventative care is beneficial for all ages and is key to avoiding costly and extensive dental treatments in the future. At Select Dental Office, we tailor our preventative strategies to each patient, providing personalized care plans based on detailed assessments of your dental health.
