Hygiene

Regular comprehensive hygiene appointments with Dr. Potts and his team can help you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile... and protect more than just your oral health.

At our practice, comfortable hygiene appointments are not the exception – they are the standard of care for our patients. Because we care about helping you get the best out of your smile and your experience every time, we provide a variety of amenities such as topical anesthetic and desensitizing mouthwash treatments to make your teeth cleaning appointments as comfortable as possible.

Although we may not realize it, the mouth is a gateway to the rest of our body. Unfortunately, as many as 1 in 3 over the age of the 30 may be affected by a very serious disease called periodontal disease - often unknowingly. Periodontal disease will occur when earlier signs of gingivitis remain untreated. Without regular cleanings and treatment by an experienced dental team; bacteria, plaque and tartar can lead to a loss of jaw bone, an irreversible condition, and cause the gums to recede.

Through inflammation and/or bleeding of the gums, this bacteria can spread throughout the body and increase the risk factors of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and many other conditions. Enjoy more reasons to smile with a visit to Moorpark Dental Care today.
