Preventive Dentistry in Campus Drive Suite
At the heart of our practice is a commitment to preventive care, the cornerstone of optimal dental health. By preventing dental issues before they start, or catching them at their earliest stages, G Dental Group helps children and adults in Daly City keep their smiles healthy for life while avoiding more complex and costly treatment down the road.
Our Preventive Dental Services
- Scheduled Examinations: Regular checkups allow Dr. Galang and Dr. Corvera to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues and catch problems like cavities and gum disease early.
- Routine Teeth Cleanings: Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t reach and polish away surface stains.
- Oral Hygiene Instructions: Personalized home-care coaching helps you brush, floss, and care for your teeth more effectively between visits.
- Dental Sealants: Protective coatings on the chewing surfaces of newly erupted molars help prevent decay in children and at-risk adults.
- Fluoride Rinses and Treatments: Beneficial for both children and adults, fluoride strengthens enamel and reduces the risk of cavities and sensitivity.
- Digital X-Rays: Taken when needed to detect hidden decay, bone loss, and other problems that aren’t visible during an exam.
- Custom Mouthguards: Protect your teeth during sports and recreational activities.
Why Preventive Care Matters
Most dental problems are easier, more comfortable, and less expensive to treat when they’re caught early. A small cavity can be repaired with a simple tooth-colored filling, but if it’s left to grow, it may require a crown, root canal, or even an extraction. Early gum inflammation can often be reversed with a professional cleaning, while advanced gum disease may require periodontal treatment. Healthy gums also support your overall health, as gum disease has been linked to heart disease and diabetes.
How Often Should You Visit?
Most patients should schedule an exam and cleaning every six months. Patients with a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, diabetes, or other health concerns may benefit from more frequent visits. We’ll recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.
Preventive Care at Home
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss every day, limit sugary snacks and drinks, avoid tobacco, and drink plenty of water. If you grind your teeth, ask us about a night guard to prevent wear and damage.
We warmly invite our patients to discuss any concerns or questions about their dental health with us. Our team is here to provide the answers you need and make every visit comfortable and informative. New to our office?
