We focus on providing preventive care for all ages. Routine dental visits at Calistoga Dental Group are essential to prevent common oral health problems such as cavities, tooth infections, and gum disease. Unfortunately, many patients skip annual examinations, making their teeth vulnerable to germs. We understand that patients can lose their teeth or suffer from age-related oral health issues due to a lack of preventive care in their younger years. Therefore, we advise you to take proper care of your teeth now while you still can. If it has been a while since your last visit, please call us at (707) 709-6058 and schedule an appointment for your dental exam today!

What is the Recommended Frequency of Dental Visits?

Patients often wonder how often they should come to our office for routine dental care. They might link their dentist visits with relieving any pain or health concerns they have. When it comes to your teeth, we'd rather see you before any discomfort arises. Plaque and bacteria can develop on the teeth without causing symptoms, eventually leading to cavities and gum disease. It is difficult to tell the condition of your mouth at home without a professional examination. We recommend you come for an appointment every six months or three or four times annually if you have diabetes. However, even those in good health should get a dental exam and cleaning once a year.

What is Calistoga Dental Office's Routine Dental Care Plan?

When you visit our office for preventive care in Calistoga, CA, we will visually inspect all your teeth to check for decay. We will also look at your gums for signs of gum disease and take images of your mouth to check for infections that may not be visible to the naked eye. Our dentist will discuss a treatment plan with you if something arises; otherwise, we can proceed with regular cleaning. Depending on your age, we may advise that you follow specific procedures to prevent cavities in the future. A notable one is fluoride application which can help strengthen teeth and reduce your risk of getting cavities by 30%- especially if you are prone to developing cavities or live in an area without city water. Our fluoride treatments are simple and cause no pain or delay the dental procedures.

We highly recommend dental sealant for children as it helps protect against plaque and bacteria by creating a barrier in the deeper ridges of teeth. For those adults with tooth sensitivity, we can work together to implement proactive measures to stop the situation from worsening. If you want to know more about bonding or a detailed plan for routine dental care, call our Calistoga office at (707) 709-6058 for an appointment.
