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!

Healthy Dental Habits Keep Diabetes and Heart Disease at Bay

Your mouth is literally the gateway to the rest of your body. It is the fueling port where we consume our food, beverages, and most medications. The digestive and respiratory tracts are accessed through the mouth.

Too often, our thoughts about the role our mouth plays in our overall health end with what we eat and drink. But practicing proper dental hygiene — brushing, flossing, and getting regular dental checkups — helps us maintain our overall health. Diabetes, heart disease, pneumonia, and birth complications are some of the conditions associated with poor dental health.

Care for Older Teeth

Why run all over town for health screenings when you can get the care you need from AltaMed? Whether you’re a caregiver or you’re taking care of your own teeth, it’s more convenient to access services from AltaMed Health Centers that have on-site dental services.

We also provide specialized vision, hearing, and dental services for our older patients enrolled in the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). All services are approved by the participant’s physician and the PACE team.

A Healthy Smile for Your Child

Smile! At AltaMed, we’re here to make sure your children have strong, healthy teeth.

Did you know that 20% of kids between 5 and 11 years old have at least one untreated cavity?

Cavities that go unfixed can lead to problems and get in your child’s way of eating, speaking, and even learning.

That’s why it’s essential to schedule regular trips to the dentist, set a good example for them, and follow these easy tips to keep your child’s teeth looking good (and yours, too!):

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.
