Preventative Dentistry

Everyone knows the golden rule when it comes to visiting the dentist. If you go every 6 months, you will avoid having to deal with painful dental health issues and costly procedures later on down the road. If preventing serious dental health issues is as easy as visiting the dentist twice a year, why do so many people not go? Ac cording to the Health Policy Institute , 59% of adults don’t go to the dentist simply because of the cost. Many others don’t go out of fear. Whatever the reason may be, it shouldn’t stop you from visiting the dentist regularly.

PREVENTATIVE DENTAL SERVICES

Preventative dentistry is made up of a few different factors. From simply brushing twice a day to routine dental cleanings, preventative dentistry is absolutely key to maintaining a healthy, clean, and bright smile. At D.C. Smile Studio, we offer preventative dental services including routine cleanings, x-rays, and deep cleanings. Although it’s important to visit us twice a year, there are things you should do at home as well. Our team of dental professionals aims to keep you educated on healthy dental practices in our office and at home.

You can do these things at home:

Brush twice daily
Floss once daily
Brush your tongue
Maintain a balanced and healthy diet
Avoid sugary drinks and food

"Our family has been seeing Dr. lievano and now Dr. Avila-Gnau for over 20 years for all our dental needs from routine checkups to root canals. Their team is caring, friendly and professional and they don’t crowd their calendars so you get in and out in a timely fashion. The best part of their practice is they are sensitive to fears and pain and emphasize comfort and humor and encourage you to relax during each visit. Our son started going at 4 years old and he has only had positive experiences. I recommend them very highly for anyone seeking a warm and welcoming dental office!"
