Teeth Cleaning | Comprehensive Exam | Flouride Treatment | Oral Cancer Screening
The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist every six months. Preventive dental care can help you reduce or avoid future costs by preventing and finding potential issues sooner. Because many diseases and conditions first show signs in your mouth, good dental health and a strong relationship with your dental office are important steps in your overall health
The doctor will review all findings and discuss possible treatment options to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
Fluoride can be an important part of preventing tooth decay in patients of all ages. During your visit, we will determine your risk for dental decay by discussing your diet, home care, previous decay history, illnesses and prescription medications. Fluoride treatment can be done in the office, or at home.
In the office: Treatment can be done during your regular exam using a tray with gel or foam fluoride. A more highly concentrated fluoride varnish that is brushed onto your teeth can also be used.
At home: Options for fluoride treatment include prescription toothpastes or a daily rinse. It is important to follow all recommendations made by your dentist and to also be aware of the fluoride levels in your water.
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Carmel Plaza Dental provides oral cancer screenings as part of your regular dental exam. There are two main risk factors for oral cancer. Smoking and tobacco use are long-term historic causes of oral cancer. In addition, the HPV-16 virus, a sexually-transmitted disease, is resulting in the fastest-growing segment of oral cancer patients being young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals.
When found early, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. Dentists can be a first line of defense in identifying abnormalities in the mouth, which could be a sign of oral cancer.

Dr. Nichal — My Dr. Kind! 🤗
Some doctors treat your dental problems, and some heal the fear that comes with them. For me, Dr. Ketki Nichal has done both.
I had a very traumatic dental experience back in India during my teenage years, which left me so fearful that I avoided visiting a dentist for almost 19 years!
And then came Dr. Ketki Nichal. ❤️
From my very first visit, she has been nothing but gentle, patient, understanding, and incredibly caring. What makes her truly special is that she never forgets my past experiences or the fears I walked in with. Every single time, she goes that extra mile to make sure I feel safe, comfortable, and reassured throughout the procedure.
Whether it's a cavity filling or any other dental treatment, she takes the time to understand my concerns and makes sure I never have to relive those unpleasant experiences.
The biggest transformation? Today, I can confidently walk into a dental clinic all by myself, sit in that chair, and feel completely comfortable with the procedures. Something I never imagined would be possible!
I lovingly call her "Dr. Kind" because that's exactly who she is. Kindness isn't just something she shows occasionally; it's part of how she treats her patients.
If it weren't for Dr. Nichal, I genuinely don't think I would have found the courage to restart my dental checkups after nearly two decades.
Thank you, Dr. Nichal, for not just taking care of my teeth, but for helping me overcome a fear I carried for 19 years. You have made a difference in my life that goes far beyond dentistry.
Forever grateful to Dr.Ketki Nichal, my Dr. Kind! ❤️
I wholeheartedly recommend her, especially to anyone who has dental anxiety or fears visiting a dentist.
The best dental clinic and best staff I experience in years. They take good care of you and makes you feel comfortable in every way.
