Preventive dentistry focuses on services that keep the mouth healthy and reduce future dental concerns.

Families can schedule a consultation at our San Francisco or Redwood City, CA practice to plan their child's next preventive visit.
What Should I Expect from Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive visits follow a simple process that helps your child stay relaxed throughout the appointment. Cleanings remove plaque and debris that brushing may miss. Exams allow the dental team to monitor tooth development, gum health, and alignment. Many children benefit from cleanings and exams twice each year, though some may need visits more often. Digital x-rays create detailed images of areas not visible during a standard exam. They help the dentist observe tooth roots, developing teeth, and the jaw. Fluoride treatment strengthens enamel and helps reduce the risk of cavities. Each step is completed with gentle methods designed to provide a positive experience for your child.
