Routine Cleaning
Routine Cleaning is Your Best Value Dental Care.
The truth is that many factors impact your oral health, including lifestyle habits, diet, genetics and oral hygiene. Dental problems that have gone undetected for lengthy periods, may develop more severe disease, become more difficult and expensive to treat.
When evidence of disease is detected at a routine appointment, treatment should be simple, and relatively inexpensive to treat.
Periodontal Maintenance
When evidence of mild to moderate periodontal disease is present, deep cleaning can prevent worsening of the disease. The use of laser therapy treats early gum disease with no discomfort and prevents symptoms from worsening.

Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are proven to protect teeth from decay. Find out more about sealants:
Sealants
Cavity Arresting Treatment
Cavity arresting treatment (SDF) is a medicament approved by the FDA in 2012 for use in the United States. When painted onto teeth it will help prevent a cavity from becoming worse.
Desensitizing Treatment
Desensitizing medications can be applied with a fine brush, to seal the exposed microscopic pores in the dentin layer of teeth that causes the sensitivity you feel.
Tooth-strengthening Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride helps to strengthen the enamel on your teeth, so that cavities are less likely to develop.
At routine dental appointments Dr. Escudero applies the gel or foam to your teeth, and rinses it off after a few minutes.
