We focus on keeping patients in good oral health so that they can live a full, healthy, and enjoyable life that is free from oral pain. This starts by educating our patients on what they can do to stay healthy at home. In our <em>family dentist<\/em> office we recommend that patients eat a healthy diet that consists of green leafy vegetables, lean protein, nuts, dairy products, and crunchy fruits and veggies. Eating these foods along with drinking water can help to keep teeth healthy and make them stronger. By simultaneously reducing sugar intake, patients can also reduce their risk of cavities.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to brush and floss throughout the day. Instead of waiting for bedtime to brush teeth, carry a small toothbrush and use it after meals and snacks. This makes it possible to remove sugar and bacteria from the teeth and gums before it has the opportunity to turn into acid that can attack the teeth. This preventative step can greatly reduce a persons' risk of getting a cavity or gum disease. We understand the importance of taking these steps at home and will spend the time necessary to educate and inform patients so that they can stay healthy overall. Education, after all, is essential for living a long and healthy life.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.col -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.row -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- \/sContent mute -->\n\n<div class=\"call-out center-align bg-secondary\"><!-- sContent-Yelp -->\n<p id=\"yelp-reviews-north-hollywood-ca\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"><\/i> Check out what others are saying about our family dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Family Dentist North Hollywood\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/socal-dental-care-north-hollywood\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Family-Dentist\">Family Dentist North Hollywood<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.call-out --><!-- \/sContent-Yelp -->\n\n<div class=\"main-service-content section-block\"><!-- sContent Background -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"north-hollywood-ca-family-dentist-office\"><\/a>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Visits to Our Family Dental Office<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<a name=\"dental-treatment-for-all-ages\"><\/a>\n<p>We welcome patients throughout the North Hollywood CA area to schedule an appointment with our <b>family dentist<\/b> office by calling <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental Care at 818-821-8308\" href=\"tel:+1-818-821-8308\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Hyphens-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">818-821-8308<\/a>. Everyone should have their teeth cleaned and examined at least twice a year so if it has been awhile since you visited a dentist, don't delay in scheduling an appointment. During these ongoing dental exams we will make sure that your teeth are thoroughly cleaned and look for any signs of cavities or gum disease. If any are found, they will be treated right away before they can spread and create additional problems. Early detection and treatment are important for reducing any pain that may come as a result of an infection. For example, if gum disease is caught early, it can be treated with a thorough deep cleaning. If gum disease is left undiagnosed, surgery may eventually be required in order to correct it.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding the importance of these regular dental exams, the team at SoCal Dental Care work to make each patient extremely comfortable. This includes being welcoming and kind while performing dental treatments in a way that is painless and relaxing. Patients visit our dentist office because they trust us to do just that \u2013 take care of their teeth and gums, gently. The majority of our patients are local and come from the greater North Hollywood area, we also see patients that are looking for gentle dental care.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"call-out bg-secondary\"><!-- Call-out block -->\n<p id=\"family-dentist-factoid\">40% of people over the age of 65 do not have all of their teeth.

Each age group requires a different approach due to dental needs and oral health changing with time. For example, with children the goal is to keep them comfortable and relaxed so that they will enjoy visiting our dentist office and be willing to come back. With children, we go as slowly as necessary to ensure that their appointments are pleasant. Additionally, we focus on keeping their teeth healthy and free from cavities. This often involves additional treatments to strengthen and protect their teeth as preventative measures. We know that it is far easier to keep a child's teeth healthy and free from cavities than to try and get them comfortable with a major dental treatment. If you have children, call <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental Care at (818) 821-8308\" href=\"tel:+1-818-821-8308\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Formatted-2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(818) 821-8308<\/a> to schedule an appointment so that they can stay in good oral health as they grow.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"call-out bg-secondary\"><!-- Call-out block -->\n<p>3 out of 4 people suffer from some form of gum disease.

With a full set of adult teeth, there are no replacements coming in. If a tooth has become damaged, we can restore it in a way that looks and feels completely natural. It is much easier for the tooth to become cracked or chipped than people think, so we regularly get calls from patients throughout North Hollywood needing an emergency appointment in order to correct the damage. We try to accommodate last minute appointments as much as possible.<\/p>\n<a name=\"north-hollywood-ca-senior-dental-care\"><\/a>\n<p>Seniors, on the other hand, often struggle with gum disease and oral infections. As people age, their teeth can become weaker and infected more easily. Bone loss is incredibly common with seniors and by conducting regular dental exams, the team at <a title=\"SoCal Dental Care Dentist in North Hollywood California\" href=\"https:\/\/socaldentalcare.com\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"DBA-Family-Dentist\">SoCal Dental Care<\/a> can help seniors to have strong teeth and reduce the risk of them falling out.

Not only do they help children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to come in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> What should I do if my child has a toothache?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> First, rinse the irritated area with warm salt water and place a cold compress on the face if it is swollen. Give the child acetaminophen for any pain, rather than placing aspirin on the teeth or gums. Finally, see a dentist as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> How do dental sealants work?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> Sealants work by filling in the crevasses on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This shuts out food particles that could get caught in the teeth, causing cavities. The application is fast and comfortable and can effectively protect teeth for many years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> How do I know if my child is getting enough fluoride?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> Have your family dentist evaluate the fluoride level of your child's primary source of drinking water. If your child is not getting enough fluoride internally through water (especially if the fluoride level is deficient or if your child drinks bottled water without fluoride), then we may prescribe fluoride supplements.<\/p>\n<a name=\"protect-my-childs-teeth-during-sports\"><\/a>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> What can I do to protect my teeth during sporting events?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> Soft plastic mouthguards can be used to protect teeth, lips, cheeks and gums from sport related injuries. A custom-fitted mouthguard will protect your teeth from injuries and even provide protection from severe injuries to the head.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> How safe are dental X-rays?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> There is very little risk in dental X-rays. Family dentists are especially careful to limit the amount of radiation to which you and your family are exposed. Lead aprons and high-speed film are used to ensure safety and minimize the amount of radiation.
