Caring Santa Cruz Sedation Dentist Can Calm Your Dental Fears

Modern sedation dentistry makes it possible to catch up on years of neglect in just one or two appointments.

Because you're calmly sedated, Santa Cruz sedation dentist Dr. Valle is able to provide all of the care that you've been missing, restoring your oral health quickly and easily.

At Santa Cruz Dental Care we know that those who avoid the dentist have an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and that poor dental health can increase your risk of heart disease. Our patients can often get years' worth of dental treatments done in one or two stress-free sessions.

Now you can relax through your dental visits. Call us today at (831) 423-2400. Or fill out our online form for easy scheduling. At Santa Cruz Dental Care, we have several payment options and we're available when it's convenient for you.

Diet and Dental Health

Diets low in certain nutrients can reduce resistance to oral and dental infections including gum disease and tooth decay. A healthy immune system is essential to controlling periodontal disease. Counseling in the Four Basic Food groups will improve dental health and general health.

The consumption of sugar, especially in sticky forms or in a baby bottle while sleeping, contributes to the rapid development of dental decay. Dr. Valle believes that a balanced diet, effective brushing and sensible eating habits can reduce the risk of, or even prevent, infectious dental disease. If you need more information on how a healthy diet can improve your dental health, please don't hesitate to call Santa Cruz Dental Care at (831) 423-2400.

Finding the Perfect Toothpaste

From whitening to ultra-sensitive, there are a multitude of toothpastes available on today's market. How do you choose? Start by selecting one with fluoride, which will prevent cavities. Other things to consider are flavor, whitening potential, tartar control and price. Often the biggest difference between two brands is packaging, so don't get hung up on the finer details. Consider selecting fun flavored toothpaste for children, as it will encourage them to brush regularly.

Very young children require a fluoride-free variety for safety. Call us at (831) 423-2400 and Dr. Joseph Valle will be happy to recommend a toothpaste that’s right for your family.

Picking a Mouthwash

Mouthwash can not only freshen your breath, but kill germs and bacteria that lead to cavities. Try to select a formula with fluoride. Many contain alcohol, which dries up the protective saliva in your mouth, so it's best avoided. While mouthwash a wonderful dental product, however, please remember that it cannot replace regular flossing and brushing. Remember, your dental health is our first concern at Santa Cruz Dental Care.

Please do not hesitate to call our office at (831) 423-2400 with your dental care questions, or to schedule a check-up!
