Meanwhile, let our team tell you about six family dental services that can take your family’s smiles to the next level.
Family Dental Services: Pediatric Treatments
Even baby teeth need proper care and maintenance. That’s why Dr. Cellars offers child-centered services, such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants.

Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments are fantastic for patients of all ages, but they are uniquely beneficial to children. This is because children often lack the oral hygiene habits necessary to prevent cavities and gum disease. Therefore, it’s important to supplement children’s oral hygiene with remineralizing fluoride treatments.
These treatments can:
-
Reinforce weak tooth enamel
-
Prevent tooth sensitivity
-
Arrest and prevent cavities
-
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are remarkably effective at protecting the cavity-prone chewing surfaces of the teeth. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that dental sealants reduce the rate of cavities by up to 80% over two years.
And, with nearly half of all children exhibiting signs of bruxism (teeth grinding), it’s particularly important to protect the chewing surface of their teeth. Subsequently, we recommend dental sealants for children as soon as we see the initial signs of wear and tear on their molars.
Family Dental Services: Intergenerational Treatments
There are some family dental services that defy age limits, such as exams, cleanings, screenings, and restorative solutions.
-
Dental Exams
Yearly dental exams can help Dr. Cellars pinpoint areas of concern, like cavities and gum disease. Regardless of age, patients must address these issues as quickly as possible to prevent worsening dental conditions and systemic health problems.
-
Dental Cleanings
Dental cleanings remove a sticky biofilm known as plaque from the teeth. Removing plaque greatly reduces the risk of developing cavities and health-destroying gum disease. We recommend family dental cleanings every four to six months.
-
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer typically affects older adults who partake in certain habits, like smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol. However, children are not immune to oral cancer. Therefore, we recommend getting yearly oral cancer screenings for the whole family to avoid late-stage diagnoses.
-
Restorative Solutions
From cavities to tooth loss, it’s important to repair and restore a smile at any age. Dr. Cellars can help patients address cavities and dental damage with top-tier, comprehensive restorative dental treatments at our Huntington Beach family dental center.
