WHAT IS PREVENTATIVE DENTAL CARE?

Preventive dental care focuses on protecting your teeth and gums before problems develop. Instead of waiting until you need a filling or crown, preventive treatments identify risks early and help you avoid more complex procedures down the road.
Services often include professional teeth cleanings, digital X-rays, exams, fluoride treatments, sealants, and oral cancer screenings. At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry, we also emphasize patient education, giving you the tools to maintain a healthy smile at home with proper brushing, flossing, and dietary habits.
By making preventive care a priority, you reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues—helping you save time, money, and discomfort in the long run. Regular visits also allow us to catch small concerns before they become major problems, ensuring your smile stays strong, bright, and healthy for years to come.
How to Prepare FOR YOUR PREVENTATIVE DENTAL CARE
There’s not much you need to do before a preventive care appointment, but a few small steps can make it effective. Brush and floss as usual, and note any pain, sensitivity, or changes in your mouth. If you take medications or had medical changes, share that information so we can personalize your care.
At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry, we’ll review your health history, check for early signs of issues, and discuss concerns. Preventive visits are routine and one of the simplest ways to protect your smile. Bringing a list of questions or goals can also help you get the most from your appointment.
Preparing well helps you feel confident knowing you are protecting long-term oral health.
Aftercare for YOUR PREVENTATIVE DENTAL CARE
Preventive treatments rarely require recovery, but what you do at home between visits matters most. After a cleaning or fluoride treatment, your mouth may feel extra fresh or slightly sensitive, but this is temporary.
-
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste to strengthen enamel and lower the risk of cavities.
-
Floss once a day to clean where a toothbrush can’t reach, especially between teeth where decay often begins.
-
Choose nutritious meals and limit sugary foods or drinks since excess sugar feeds harmful bacteria in the mouth.
-
Follow your dentist’s recommendations for treatments to maintain long-term oral health.

Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
We’ve answered the most frequently asked questions to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident before your appointment.
How often should I visit the dentist for preventive care?
Most patients benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. However, if you’re at higher risk for cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues, our dentists may recommend more frequent visits. Regular preventive appointments help catch small problems before they turn into major concerns.
What’s included in preventive dental care?
Preventive care may include teeth cleanings, dental exams, digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, and oral cancer screenings. These services work together to keep your teeth and gums healthy. At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry in Chino, CA, we tailor preventive care to your unique needs so you get the best protection possible.
Do children need preventive dental care?
Absolutely. Preventive care for children often includes sealants and fluoride treatments, which protect developing teeth from cavities. Regular visits also help kids build healthy habits early, making dental care a natural part of their routine as they grow.
What happens if I skip preventive care?
Delaying or skipping preventive visits can lead to undetected issues like cavities, gum disease, or infections. These problems are often more painful, expensive, and complicated to treat once they’ve advanced. Preventive care saves time, money, and protects your overall health by addressing small issues early.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes, modern digital X-rays are very safe and use extremely low levels of radiation—much lower than traditional film X-rays. They provide valuable insight that helps us detect issues like cavities, infections, or bone loss that may not be visible during a regular exam. At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry in Chino, CA, we only take X-rays when necessary and follow strict safety guidelines to keep you protected.
