Benefits of Prevention

Regular preventative care offers numerous benefits beyond just avoiding cavities. It helps maintain fresh breath, prevents gum disease, reduces the risk of tooth loss, saves money on extensive treatments, and contributes to better overall health. Research has shown connections between oral health and conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

The comprehensive care I receive at Orange County Dental Care has kept my smile healthy for years. Their attention to detail during cleanings is outstanding!

During your preventative visit at Orange County Dental Care, our hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that can't be addressed with regular brushing and flossing. Dr. Etemadieh will then conduct a comprehensive examination, checking for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential concerns. Digital x-rays may be taken to detect issues not visible to the naked eye.


Based on your examination, we'll develop a personalized preventative care plan that may include recommendations for at-home care, professional cleaning frequency, and any additional treatments to address specific concerns. Our goal is to help you maintain optimal oral health through regular care and early intervention when necessary.
