What our patients are saying

Things you might be wondering

At Ocean Dental, we know that life can be busy, and fitting a dental visit into your schedule isn’t always easy. While brushing twice a day for two minutes and flossing after meals are great habits that help prevent many dental problems, they may not catch everything. That’s why we encourage you to come in for a professional cleaning at our Lompoc, California office every six months. These routine visits help maintain your oral health and give us the opportunity to catch and treat any concerns early, before they develop into bigger or more expensive problems.

Regular cleanings at Ocean Dental play a vital role in keeping your oral health in check. Dr. Scott Dahlquist advises scheduling visits every six months to detect potential problems early before they escalate into more complex or expensive concerns. Since many dental issues can arise without noticeable symptoms, these routine appointments are key to staying ahead. In addition to preventive care, we’re committed to helping you achieve a confident, radiant smile. That’s why we provide a range of cosmetic treatments designed to enhance your appearance and help you feel proud of your smile.

Scheduling cleanings twice a year is key to keeping your smile healthy and bright. At Ocean Dental, each visit includes a full oral exam, an oral cancer screening, detailed X-rays to detect any hidden cavities, and a professional cleaning by our experienced hygienists to remove plaque, tartar, and buildup.

Dr. Scott Dahlquist collaborates with your hygienist to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. We’ll also recommend cosmetic and aesthetic solutions to help enhance your smile’s appearance.

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, develops when plaque and harmful bacteria build up in the mouth. If left untreated, this can lead to serious complications affecting your gum health. Factors such as smoking, tobacco use, teeth grinding, certain medications, and genetics can all increase the risk of developing this condition. In its advanced stages, periodontal disease can cause irreversible damage, including bone loss and tooth loss.

Dr. Scott Dahlquist stresses that the most effective way to prevent gum disease is through consistent brushing and flossing, paired with routine dental checkups every six months. Common warning signs include tooth abscesses, chronic bad breath, and other noticeable symptoms.

Catching gum disease early and taking proactive steps can help you maintain a healthy mouth and prevent long-term damage.
