Routine six-month teeth cleanings and oral exams are essential for your oral health. During your appointment at Scripps Rock Dental, we’ll take x-rays of your mouth if necessary, then a dental hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth. Next, Dr. Gupta or Dr. Tony will examine your smile and make sure everything looks good.
Routine cleanings save you time and money by preventing or catching serious oral health issues early. They are also 100% covered by most insurance plans, so it’s a good idea to make the most of your insurance and see us every six months to protect your oral health.

We offer a wide variety of preventive dental care treatments to protect your oral health and well-being at Scripps Rock Dental, including the following:
Fluoride treatments are an optional, elective treatment for cavity-prone patients. This process involves covering your teeth with a thin layer of fluoride varnish, which helps strengthen them and prevents tooth decay.
Dental sealants may also be recommended for people who are cavity-prone. In this process, Dr. Gupta or Dr. Tony will apply a thin layer of dental resin to your teeth. This resin hardens into a clear barrier that prevents cavities from forming for up to 5 years or longer.
We offer a full suite of treatments for gum disease, such as deep cleaning (scaling and root planing). If you have gum disease, Dr. Tony or Dr. Gupta will develop a custom treatment plan that will keep your mouth healthy and reverse or halt the progression of your gum disease in San Diego.
Dr. Gupta or Dr. Tony will look for signs of cancer like discolored oral tissue, lesions, lumps, and more.
Unless it’s noticed by a dentist, oral cancer often goes unnoticed until it spreads throughout your body. Oral cancer exams help you get peace of mind.
The most common risk factors for oral cancer include HPV, high levels of sun exposure, advanced age, poor oral hygiene, tobacco and alcohol use, and a weakened immune system.
