Navigating your busy schedule can be a struggle, particularly if juggling between personal, family, and job responsibilities. While squeezing a dental appointment in between your demanding schedule might seem overwhelming, especially when you have no dental problems, skipping dental checkups can birth severe issues down the road.
While taking care of your teeth and gums at home is essential, you need to honor dental appointments with your dentist every six months. So, if you are in Santa Barbara, California, and your dental checkup is due, please book an appointment with Whole Health Dentistry for a dental exam and cleaning.
At our dental clinic, we fully believe in the mouth-body connection, and that’s why we take every step to keep your mouth healthy for overall body wellness. Your mouth is the gateway to your body. If you guard it, you will have prevented an entire suite of health conditions from hampering your health.

Once we identify an issue, the next step is to devise a treatment plan to restore your oral health to its optimal state. Otherwise, if you are given a clean bill of health, the next step is dental cleaning.
Dental cleanings are pivotal in removing plaque and tartar accumulated on your teeth and below the gum line. Without dental cleanings, you are at an increased risk of developing gum disease and cavities due to calculus buildup.
Dental cleanings involve using a scaler to scrape the calculus buildup in your mouth. Our tools are gentle but efficient in accessing every nook and cranny of your mouth. After scraping, we expertly floss your teeth and polish them for a stunning smile.
If need be, we may recommend dental sealants and ozone therapy to keep your oral health in great shape. Otherwise, we expect to see you for your next dental checkup in six months.
