Prevention is an important aspect of dentistry. That’s why, at Moreno Dental in Bellingham, Dr. Ronald Moreno and Dr. John Young put a special emphasis on regular checkups and cleanings. As your general and family dentists, we want to help you create a healthy smile that improves your quality of life.

One of the most important ways we can do that is through oral exams. Whether you’re a returning patient or you’re visiting our Bellingham dental office for the first time, Dr. Moreno or Dr. Young will closely examine your teeth and gums to look for signs of the most common oral health conditions patients face. Those include:

●     Cavities

●     Gingivitis, or gum disease

●     Teeth grinding and TMJ dysfunction

●     Oral cancer

It takes professional training and experience to diagnose these conditions, and through the services we provide at our Bellingham office, we can help you move beyond them to an improved sense of confidence and well being. We can also provide fluoride supplements and dental sealants to give your smile extra protection after you leave our office and return to your normal schedule.

You might be wondering, how often you should come see us.

We recommend visiting Moreno Dental every six months. That way we can keep a sharp eye out for even the smallest change in how your teeth and gums are doing.
