Preventive dentistry if your foundation for a healthy smile. With regular cleanings and exams, small dental issues can be caught before they turn into large and costly problems. Preventive dental care along with a diligent at-home brushing and flossing routine can help prevent dental issues all together. It’s these small investments in your oral hygiene that lead to a beautiful, healthy smile.
Dental plaque is made up of more than 300 different types of bacteria.
Regular flossing allows you to clean an additional 40% of your tooth surface.
Over 90% of American adults have had a cavity at some point in their lives.

Cavities are the most common preventable chronic childhood disease, but are completely preventable with preventive dentistry treatments, regular check-ups, and good at-home oral hygiene.
For most kids, fluoride treatments won’t be done in a separate appointment. The process takes only a few minutes, so your child will get a standard oral exam and teeth cleaning from Dr. Cerdas and the dental team at Perkasie Dental Loft, and Dr. Cerdas will decide if fluoride treatment is a good choice for your little one.
Dr. Cerdas will apply a fluoride-rich compound to your child’s teeth by painting it on or using dental trays filled with the substance. It will usually be left in place for about 5 minutes.
Once the treatment is over, your child will rinse their mouth. For best results, it’s recommended that they don’t eat or drink for about 30 minutes after treatment. This gives the fluoride time to work and strengthen their teeth.
Yes. While you may have heard that fluoride is bad, this is far from the truth, and there are no verified scientific studies backing up the claims of people who are against the use of fluoride. Fluoride is, in fact, one of the most helpful substances for strengthening the teeth in both kids and adults.
Fluoride is totally safe for kids, and fluoride treatments have no serious risks or side effects. Dentists like Dr. Cerdas will ensure your child gets the appropriate amount of fluoride, and there are no serious risks associated with this treatment.
The fluoride will only stay on your child’s teeth for about 4-6 hours, but it will be absorbed by the teeth and help remineralize and strengthen them. Treatment is usually recommended every six months during your child’s routine oral exams, but kids who are very cavity-prone may need to be treated every three months.
