Solve Your Dental Problems & Show Off a Healthy Grin

If you brush twice a day and floss regularly, you are already ahead of the game when it comes to taking care of your teeth. However, it’s important to take it a step further. Scheduling teeth cleanings and dental exams twice a year is essential for lifelong healthy teeth and gums. Our general dental care goes far beyond these important services by offering:

  • Gum Disease Treatment – Dr. Shook examines your mouth to find signs of gum disease. She’ll eradicate the infection to prevent it from spreading further.
  • Fluoride Treatments and Varnish – If you are prone to cavities, these treatments will keep you safe from tooth decay by strengthening your tooth enamel.
  • Nutritional Counseling – We’ll work with you to ensure your diet is helping your smile stay healthy.
  • Chronic Dry Mouth Treatment – If you struggle with dry mouth, we can help determine the cause and provide solutions to help you fix this problem.

Our team enjoys caring for every member of your family. We’ll help your kids establish a positive perception of the dentist starting with their first dental appointment. They’ll get a tour of the office before their exam, and after Dr. Shook has looked over their smile, they will receive a toy. All ages will appreciate our advanced technology, from laser dentistry for pain-free treatments to digital dentures for a superior fit.

Let our trusted team take care of the smiles of everyone in your family with general dentistry in San Pedro! Call 310-982-6333 to make an appointment for general dental services, or reach out to us via our convenient online form.
