    • What is ment by the term "Preventative Dentistry

    Preventative dentistry is the practice of continuously maintaining the health of your teeth, and the entire staff at Thanos and Dalis DDS believe that this is the single most effective way to eliminate inconvenient, painful emergencies. While procedures such as Crowns and Fillings may serve to improve aesthetics of a tooth, they also prevent further damage from occurring as well. It is our goal for every patient to avoid these emergencies by adhering to several helpful tips whenever possible. Brush your teeth after every meal, floss at least once every day and especially before bed, and use an anti-bacterial mouthwash to help fight plaque buildup in hard-to-reach places. And of course be sure to visit us at our Torrance, CA office every six months for a regular checkup and cleaning.
