General and Preventative Care Dentistry Services
 Regular cleanings support the ongoing health of your teeth, as well as your health in general. Along with daily brushing and flossing, regular professional cleanings monitor disease and reduce bacteria that causes it. For example, besides causing gingivitis and periodontitis, the bacteria that causes periodontal (more commonly known as gum) disease also causes inflammation of the blood vessels that has been linked to diabetes, heart disease and stroke, pregnancy complications, and lung disease such as pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). By scheduling two to three appointments per year, you can also protect yourself against oral cancer and halitosis.
At Pleasant Hill Dental, comprehensive exams include a detailed x-ray reading and analysis of the gums, cheeks, palate, throat, tongue, mouth floor, and lips. We have an experienced, highly-trained hygiene staff, offering the latest dental health technology. This includes digital x-rays for superior diagnosis and lasers to treat gum (periodontal) disease. We are confident in our skill to treat most cases of periodontal disease with non-surgical methods.
We use only the highest quality consumable items and dental materials. No mercury/silver (amalgam) fillings are used in this office. Scheduling an appointment to see us soon is the first step in creating your personalized plan for not only your dental health, but your overall health in general.
