Even if you are consistent with your dental hygiene routine at home, it’s still possible to develop decay and gum disease given enough time. Early cavity detection and preventive dental cleanings allow you to walk away from your six-month appointment feeling more confident about your oral health. Dr. George and our team employ advanced technologies to accurately diagnose potential problems at their earliest stages. We’ll monitor your oral health and provide essential tips to ensure your smile remains cavity- and disease-free year-round.

Gum Disease Treatment

Using dental mirror to examine teeth

Instead of just living with bleeding, swollen, and red gums, Dr. George can target the bacterial accumulation that is the source of the problem. Using scaling and root planing, we can perform a deep cleaning to remove harmful plaque and tartar from deep below the gum line, leaving your smile ready to heal and thrive over time.

Dentistry for Children

Our dental office is always open to the youngest members of your family, ensuring their growing teeth and gums receive top-tier care. We offer everything from general checkups and cleanings, silver diamine fluoride, custom mouthguards, dental sealants, and more. Dr. George will closely monitor their oral development, making treatment recommendations along the way. This ensures your child’s smile stays on the right track through each stage and phase.

Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards

Sports-related dental emergencies can be minimized thanks to custom athletic mouthguards/sportsguard provided by El Cajon Dental Center. Our appliances keep the teeth and gums better protected during the game compared to a one-size-fits-all or boil-and-bite guard. This is because we take digital impressions of the bite so that a custom-made appliance is crafted for comfort and effectiveness.
