Routine Check-Ups & Cleanings
Regular visits are the foundation of preventive care. Our hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar, while our dentists check for early signs of decay, gum issues, or other concerns, helping you stay ahead of potential problems.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps protect against cavities. We offer fluoride treatments for both kids and adults to support strong, healthy smiles.
Dental Sealants
Sealants provide a thin, protective layer over the grooves of your back teeth, shielding them from bacteria and food particles that cause decay.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection saves lives. During your exam, we’ll perform a quick, painless screening to check for any abnormal tissue or warning signs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Preventative Dentistry
How often should I visit the dentist for checkups?
Most patients benefit from dental visits every six months, but we may recommend more frequent appointments if you have gum concerns, a history of cavities, or ongoing treatment needs. Regular visits help keep your smile healthy year-round.
What’s the best way to prevent cavities?
Brush twice a day, floss daily, and maintain regular professional cleanings at Coastline Dental in San Juan Capistrano. Fluoride treatments and dental sealants also help protect your enamel and reduce the risk of decay.
Is preventive dentistry covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive services such as exams, cleanings, and X-rays. Our team can review your benefits and help you understand what’s included in your coverage.
Do children need preventive dental care too?
Yes. Starting dental visits early helps children build healthy oral care habits and allows us to prevent small issues before they become bigger problems. We make visits fun and educational for kids of all ages.
Can preventive dentistry help with gum disease?
Yes. Regular cleanings, exams, and early detection can prevent or reverse the early stages of gum disease before it becomes serious.

A preventive appointment typically includes a thorough cleaning, a comprehensive exam, and X-rays if needed. Your dentist will check for cavities, gum health, and other potential issues.

A diet low in sugar and high in calcium-rich foods supports strong teeth and gums. Limiting acidic or sticky foods can also help prevent enamel erosion and tooth decay.
