3. Preventive services
A combination of regular exams, including physical examination and x-rays, with professional cleanings helps to maintain good oral health by detecting and stopping diseases while they are still manageable. Based on the results of your exam, Dr. Ortega will provide you with detailed instructions to enhance your at-home oral care regimen. Depending on your age and condition of your teeth, she may also recommend preventive treatments like sealants, fluoride supplements, diet changes, wearing a mouth guard, etc.
Make sure to discuss your ideal smile during the consultation, as well as the best treatments to improve your smile.
Through her training and experience, Dr. Ortega can detect issues in other parts of the body resulting from untreated oral infections, such as poor control of diabetes, pregnancy complications, and higher risk of cardiovascular disease. If any health concerns are identified, she will offer the right intervention to ensure good oral and overall health and wellbeing. Please visit our office for a personal consultation.
