Advantages of Preventive Care from a Skilled Dental Team
As your family dentist, we prioritize preventive care and oral maintenance for patients of all ages—treating everyone from toddlers and teens to adults and seniors!
A healthy mouth contributes to a healthy body, and your dental health is closely connected to your overall well-being. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining both. Our dentists, Dr. Clifford Young and Dr. Peter Young, provide comprehensive general and family dentistry in Upland, California, to support your oral and overall health.
Treating serious dental issues can be challenging and expensive, often involving discomfort and lengthy procedures. The best way to avoid these complications is through preventive care based on clinical research.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for healthy teeth and gums. By developing strong habits, you can enhance your chances of keeping your teeth for life and reduce the risk of painful dental problems and tooth loss.

To minimize the risk of serious dental issues and maintain healthy teeth and gums:
- Practice Daily Dental Care: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and flossing daily to keep your gums and the spaces between your teeth clean. Replace your toothbrush every 2-3 months, or sooner if the bristles show wear. Consider using an electric toothbrush for an enhanced clean.
- Maintain a Healthy Diet: Your diet significantly affects your dental health. Limit foods and drinks high in sugar and carbohydrates, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. Avoid acidic foods like lemons and soda that can erode tooth enamel. Focus on a diet rich in fiber and calcium to support strong, healthy teeth.
- Schedule Regular Dental Checkups: To prevent and catch potential dental issues early, attend regular checkups with your dentist. It's recommended to have a professional cleaning at least twice a year, though those with more significant dental concerns may need more frequent visits. We prioritize preventive care and strive to make every patient feel like part of our dental family.
