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.

I would like to thank the entire staff at Carmel Plaza Dental Center for making my experience as enjoyable as a dentist visit can be. First I would like to thank Neda at the front desk for helping me and guiding me through the tricky process of financing. I was able to get 24 month financing on a huge dental project. I would also like to share my appreciation for Dr. Omar Arreola and his assistant Pam. Together they made my dental implant process go extremely smooth and painless. Pam is a professional at what she does. She was able to keep me calm when my anxiety started to attack. She literally stay by my side the entire time I was there keeping me calm and informed throughout the entire process. Dr. Omar Arreola is an amazing doctor, he has been in the practice for over 40 YEARS!! and his experience truly shows through his passion for dentistry and professionalism. I had X-rays, deep cleaning, cavities removed and capped, I also had a tooth removed and an implant inserted, all in the same morning. All done with little to NO PAIN!! Now I’m at home relaxing pain free with clean pearl whites and a handsome smile. You’re awesome Carmel Plaza Dental Center!! Thank you
