Here’s something to smile about: it’s easy to access AltaMed Dental Services


A healthy mouth means much more than a great-looking smile: the health of your mouth reflects the health of your entire body. And that goes both ways, since good oral hygiene can help keep you healthy.

Because oral health is so important, AltaMed makes it easy to see a dentist, with complete dental offices built into many of our health centers. Visit us early and often, so we can keep your whole mouth healthy. In addition to X-rays, cleanings, and visual exams, we also provide more intensive services.

An Ounce of Prevention

When it comes to your teeth, aim for prevention! Daily brushing and flossing is important, but you should still go to your dentist’s office at least twice a year for regular cleanings and X-rays. Besides helping you avoid the pain of a cavity, regular screenings can help save you money.

Family Dentistry

Get your entire family on a good oral health routine that includes brushing and flossing, and regular appointments at your local AltaMed Dental locations. The American Dental Association recommends at least once or twice a year for normal checkups; however, some individuals may need to see their dentist a little more frequently. Your dentist can give you personalized recommendations.

To prevent oral disease, young children should start seeing the dentist around 1 month old. The best thing you can do to start healthy habits for your children is to set a good example yourself. That includes a routine of proper brushing and flossing, as well as regular checkups at AltaMed. With the right care, you’ll all keep your teeth for life!

Broke teeth

Those Who Need Extra Care

The American Dental Association typically recommends that you see the dentist once or twice a year, but for some people, that isn’t enough to maintain good oral health. And your mouth and your teeth influence the health of the rest of your body, so it’s important to see the dentist more often.

Those who may need to see their AltaMed dentist more frequently include:

 

  • Smokers
  • Crowns
  • Pregnant women
  • Diabetics
  • People who tend to get cavities or build up plaque
  • People with a weak immune response to bacterial infection

If you’re under a lot of stress or you’re sick, you may also need to see the dentist more frequently. Your AltaMed dentist always has your best health in mind, and will come up with a convenient schedule for you.
