As your general and family dentists, we want to help you create a healthy smile that improves your quality of life.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOne of the most important ways we can do that is through oral exams. Whether you\u2019re a returning patient or you\u2019re visiting our Bellingham<\/strong> dental office for the first time, Dr. Moreno<\/strong> or Dr. Young<\/strong> will closely examine your teeth and gums to look for signs of the most common oral health conditions patients face. Those include:\r\n\r\n\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cavities\r\n\r\n\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gingivitis, or gum disease\r\n\r\n\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Teeth grinding and TMJ dysfunction\r\n\r\n\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oral cancer\r\n\r\nIt takes professional training and experience to diagnose these conditions, and through the services<\/a> we provide at our Bellingham<\/strong> 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.\r\n\r\nYou might be wondering, how often you should come see us.\r\n\r\nWe recommend visiting Moreno Dental<\/strong> 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.\r\n\r\nHas it been more than six months since your last checkup and cleaning? Cal<\/a>l Moreno Dental<\/strong> today to reserve your next appointment. We\u2019re proud to serve patients from Bellingham, Ferndale, Lynden, Everson, and beyond<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prevention is an important aspect of dentistry.
