Dental Care
Top-Notch Dental Care in Fillmore, California
At Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, our mission is to provide you with high-quality dental care
in a calm and comfortable atmosphere. Dr. Sanchez and his team are here to serve you with the personal attention you deserve. We strive to make your visit to our dental office a positive experience from the ery first visit.
We recommend brushing thoroughly at least twice daily and regular flossing. While these practices are the first step toward preventing certain oral diseases, optimum oral health also requires routine general and preventative care. Our services include regular oral examinations and cleanings,
preventative fluoride application and periodontal (gum disease) treatments, and more,
all designed to help you maintain the beauty and health of your smile.
Prevention is always better than treatment
Sealants are useful in preventing tooth decay, especially on the back teeth, and can save patients money in the long run. Dr. Sanchez and our hygienist can make sealants part of your treatment plan for a healthy mouth.
Sealants are most often placed in children and teenagers, since tooth decay can start soon after teeth come in. But adults can benefit from sealants too, because you never "outgrow" the risk for developing cavities.
A dental sealant is a plastic material that is applied to the chewing surface of a molar or bicuspid tooth. The sealant material flows into the pits and grooves of the teeth, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel by preventing plaque and bacteria from penetrating the enamel in these areas.
