Although mouthwash should never be substituted as a replacement for either brushing or flossing your teeth, it remains a highly effective oral health care treatment tool to consider as a supplementary cleaning utensil for your oral health care.

Be aware that mouthwash products vary depending on the benefits they are seeking to achieve. Some mouthwash products focus on freshening breath, while others rely on whitening your teeth, providing fluoride treatments, or reducing plaque buildup.

When searching for a mouthwash product to use, always look for the ADA Seal of Acceptance. The seal is given out by the American Dental Association and signifies the product has met the highest standards of safety and efficiency. For additional product suggestions and recommendations, you can always speak with your dentist. No matter which product you choose, make sure that the mouthwash product meets the goals you’re looking for.

If you are looking to restore your smile with effective oral health care treatments, contact Dr. Khashayar Khomejany and our team at Plaza Dental Care. We can be reached by calling us at 707-642-1360 to book a reservation to see us at our office in Vallejo, California. We can get you on the path to smiles for miles!

Premolars and molars have grooves and fissures that help those teeth to chew food. Unfortunately, bacteria and plaque can collect in those areas. If they aren’t thoroughly cleaned, cavities can develop. If left unchecked, a cavity may become too large for the dentist to repair it with a filling.

When a tooth is in this condition your dentist might recommend using a special inlay or onlay dental filling. An inlay might only be needed if the area of tooth decay is limited to the surface of the tooth. However, if the decay is severe enough, the dentist might recommend repairing the tooth with an onlay filling.

These fillings need to be prepared in a dental lab. Once the decay has been removed from the tooth, Dr. Khashayar Khomejany will apply a temporary dental filling. You will need to return for a follow-up appointment when the permanent filling is ready. Once the dentist cements it in place, the filling will maintain the strength and integrity of the tooth for many years to come.

If you live in Vallejo, California, and you have noticed a cavity on one of your teeth, you should call 707-642-1360 to for an appointment at Plaza Dental Care.

Are you interested in knowing the particular details about your six-month checkup that is coming up? If so, our Plaza Dental Care dental team is happy to help you!

At the beginning of your treatment, your hygienist will deeply clean your chompers with special tools and techniques that remove the dangerous substances from the surfaces of your smile, like plaque and tartar. This is a beneficial treatment because it reduces your chances of falling victim to tooth decay and gum disease. Next, they will check your teeth and gums and look for any signs of trouble. Then, they will floss the nooks and crannies of your smile and will remove any plaque and food particles that live there. Finally, they will polish your teeth with a polishing treatment that will remove the surface stains from your smile.

At the end of your visit, Dr. Khashayar Khomejany will examine your entire mouth and look for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and enamel erosion. If they sees any signs, they will discuss your treatment options with you to help you strengthen your smile and oral health. In addition to this exam, they will also perform an oral cancer screening, which will involve inspecting your mouth and throat for signs of oral or pharyngeal cancer.

Now that you know the steps involved in your treatment, there is no need to be nervous or stressed. As you can see, your appointment should be easy and painless. For more information about your six-month checkups in Vallejo, California, please call our office at 707-642-1360 at your earliest convenience. Our dental team will be more than happy to help you with anything you need!
