Preventive Dentistry in East Bay
Experience the Aloha way of caring for your child's smile from the very beginning.
What are the Benefits of Preventive Dentistry?
Early Prevention
Starting dental care early establishes good habits and prevents future problems. We focus on educating both children and parents for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Establish a Dental Home
Establishing a dental home at a young age prevents dental anxiety in the long run. We create a warm, welcoming space that feels like a second home.
Long-Term Oral Health
Preventive care sets the foundation for excellent oral health throughout childhood and into adulthood. We work to instill good habits and catch any issues before they become serious problems.
Our Treatments
Cleanings & Exams
Regular cleanings and exams are the cornerstone of preventative dentistry. Our gentle, thorough approach removes plaque and tartar while teaching children proper brushing and flossing techniques. We make these visits fun and educational, helping kids understand the importance of oral health from an early age. Our team takes the time to build rapport, ensuring your child feels comfortable and looks forward to their dental visits.

Digital X-Rays
We use state-of-the-art digital x-rays to get a comprehensive view of your child's oral health with minimal radiation exposure. These high-quality images allow us to detect issues early and plan treatments effectively. We explain the process to children in age-appropriate ways, making the experience less intimidating and more engaging.

Behavior Techniques
Our team excels in behavior management, allowing us to treat almost all patients without sedation. We use positive reinforcement, tell-show-do techniques, and patience to help children feel at ease. By building trust and making dental visits enjoyable, we create positive associations with dental care that last a lifetime.

Nutrition Guidance
Good oral health starts with proper nutrition. We provide personalized guidance on diet choices that promote healthy teeth and gums. Our team educates families on the impact of sugary foods and drinks, offering practical advice on making tooth-friendly food choices. This holistic approach helps prevent cavities and ensures overall health.

Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a quick, painless way to protect your child's teeth from decay. We apply a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities often start. This simple procedure can prevent cavities in cavity-prone teeth, giving your child's smile extra protection.

Fluoride
Fluoride treatments are a safe, effective way to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. We apply fluoride in accordance with the latest research and AAPD recommendations. Our team explains the benefits of fluoride to parents and children, ensuring everyone understands its role in maintaining strong, healthy teeth.

Oral Cancer Screenings
While rare in children, we include oral cancer screenings as part of our comprehensive exams. Our gentle, thorough approach checks for any unusual changes in the mouth, tongue, and surrounding areas. This proactive screening gives parents peace of mind and allows for early detection of any potential issues.

Laser Dentistry
When we say your child’s comfort matters – we mean it. We’ve invested in Solea laser technology, the first FDA-approved CO2 laser for both hard and soft tissue procedures. This transformative system allows us to perform a wide range of treatments and often eliminates the need for anesthesia for cavity treatment and dental fillings. It also allows us to complete more treatments in a single visit, saving you time and reducing the number of appointments needed. Best of all, your child can return to normal activities immediately after treatment, with no lingering numbness.

Airway Evaluation
Airway evaluations are a critical part of pediatric dental care, helping to identify any potential breathing or sleep issues early on. Our team takes a gentle, thorough approach, assessing your child’s airway health to ensure proper development and overall well-being. We look for signs of obstructive sleep apnea, mouth breathing, and other concerns that may affect your child's growth, behavior, and quality of sleep. By addressing these issues early, we help support your child’s long-term health and development, ensuring they can breathe and sleep comfortably as they grow.
