Your Dental Hygiene — Thorough, Gentle, Informative

Dr. Grivas, dentist in Sacramento, and his hygienist understand: your mouth is a sensitive place. Sitting in a chair while a dental expert uses various instruments to clean the inside of it can be a little uncomfortable for anyone.

Above all, we respect your health and your comfort. The latest studies indicate a stronger than previously recognized relationship between oral and systemic body health. Allowing harmful bacteria to live inside your gums is connected to arterial plaque, diabetes and respiratory issues — not mention periodontal disease and bone loss.

You deserve a clean mouth — everywhere — and an experience that doesn’t leave your mouth sore when you leave. Our hygienist is extremely thorough and also very gentle at the same time. For our dentist in Sacramento, it is hugely important for us to invest the time required to educate you about the benefits of daily oral hygiene:

• Prevents tooth decay and gum disease
• Saves you money by avoiding unneeded procedures
• Helps you avoid bad breath
• Maintains ideal tooth color and shade, especially after a Zoom! teeth whitening proceedure.
• Improves tooth strength and durability
• Enhances overall systemic health

Our goal is to keep your mouth healthy, which is easy to achieve with some good daily habits. To learn the tricks and tips to maintain optimum oral health, schedule an appointment.

Educating You Towards Prevention

A proactive, routine oral health care program is the simplest, easiest way for you to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. To keep your mouth in the best possible shape, our dentist in Sacramento, Dr. Grivas, uses a special soft tissue laser to remove bacteria, focusing on the pockets between your teeth to promote the healing process.

If your teeth are especially sensitive, please ask us about topical anesthetic rinses or sprays like Oraquix® that can make your visit more comfortable. After your cleaning, and as a general rule, Sacramento dentist Scott Grivas recommends that you:

• Brush your teeth and floss well two to three times each day
• Consume a healthy diet of whole grain foods, fruit, meat, vegetables and dairy products
• Visit our licensed hygienist every six months for a checkup and cleaning

Thankfully, quality oral health care isn’t hard to achieve. Sometimes we just need a little encouragement to keep us on the right track. If you need a cleaning, we invite you to stop by and experience our comprehensive, gentle care.
