It is important to note that for overall, optimal dental health, the approach has to be cooperative. It involves you and our professional team working in unison.

Solana Beach Family Dental, provides professional dental cleaning services and teaches you the most effective preventive techniques to apply at home. It’s important that you maintain a thorough daily cleaning routine as well as regular visits to a dentist for comprehensive exams and professional cleaning.
Dental Exam

If everything looks healthy, we’ll provide you with the information and tools you need to maintain excellent oral health. Our comprehensive examination includes:
- Digital, low dose radiographic examination as necessary
- Oral cancer screening

Dental Radiographs (X-Rays)
Solana Beach Family Dental offers dental X-Rays to help establish any unwanted dental structures, malignancies, or tooth decay. Below are some of the reasons why it’s important for you to have occasional dental radiographs:
- Invaluable for detecting caries (decay) in between teeth and under existing restorations
- May detect a number of otherwise invisible conditions, such as bone loss and abnormalities of tissues surrounding the teeth
- Modern dental radiographs are extremely safe since digital radiographs emit extremely low doses of radiation
- Dental radiograph frequency is determined individually based on the patient’s vulnerability and propensity to gum disease and/or tooth decay
Home Care
Most of the things that call for sophisticated dental procedures stem from a lack of proper dental home care. That’s why our dentistry team provides you with home care tips. Things like proper diet and cleaning of teeth are an indispensable part of maintaining a healthy smile. Here are some of the things you can do at home for improved oral health:
- Floss teeth once a day
- Brush teeth two to three times a day with fluoridated toothpaste
- Rinse after meals if you can’t brush
