Cleanings & Prevention
A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.
Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.
Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.
Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.

Great service. I'm usually a little hesitant to go to the dentist's office, but Dr. Abbott was extremely professional and comforting. His staff was welcoming and friendly as well.

I had procrastinated about setting up a new dental provider since I moved to Chico nearly three years ago. A co-worker recommended Dr. Abbott. I called to make my first appointment and the person I talked to was efficient and got me in the very next day! I had my first appointment today and I was very impressed. Melissa and Julie worked with me on x-rays and cleaning. They were friendly, kind and, most important, gentle. Dr. Abbott was thorough and also kind and gentle. I did not feel like my appointment was being rushed. Everyone took their time to make sure I received excellent care. I would highly recommend this office.
