Preventive Dentistry at La Costa Dental Excellence
We Believe the Best Dentistry Is the Dentistry You Never Need
Healthy smiles don’t happen by accident. They are a result of preventative dentistry. At La Costa Dental Excellence, we believe it is essential.
Perhaps you have dental health and want to prevent tooth decay. Many Carlsbad people have a mouth full of fillings and don’t want to add another one to their collection.
Perhaps you want to avoid gingivitis (gum disease) which can bring about tooth loss if left untreated.
Preventative Dentistry
At La Costa Dental Excellence, we have a prevention-oriented philosophy of dental care.
Your first step toward a healthy smile begins with a prevention consultation with Doctors Stephen and Kimberly Dankworth.
Dental Exams are Essential
People of all ages need to start with an exam to determine their current status. Your dental condition is influenced by your dietary habits, previous dental work, physical health, medications, lifestyle, and family history. After a comprehensive analysis, Stephen and Kimberly Dankworth can establish a decay prevention plan just for you.
Let’s Make a Plan
A prevention plan is a multi-faceted approach designed to maintain optimum dental health. It involves affordable preventative services at La Costa Dental Excellence. Twice-yearly exams reveal early problems before they progress. Deep cleanings prevent a plethora of serious dental dilemmas for our patients who faithfully keep their regular cleaning appointments.
Oral health cannot be maintained solely in our office. Daily brushing and flossing are essential. A healthy diet is necessary and will deliver benefits to your whole body–not just your teeth.
If you suspect you have a cavity or gum disease, call us at 760-633-3033 before it gets worse. We can successfully treat your current problems and restore your dental health. In addition, we will set you on the path toward a healthier future.
