Family Dentist In West Los Angeles Issues Preventative Oral Health Advisory

Dr. Ilona Casellini, DMD of Swiss Quality Smile, recently issued a public advisory following the latest research published by the American Dental Association (ADA), which identified significant gaps in preventative oral health among certain subpopulations of American children. Swiss Quality Smile is a family dentist in West Los Angeles, which provides state of the art dental services using the latest dental technology and procedures.

In the report published in their April 2019 edition, the ADA found that parents and caregivers stated that only 8 in 10 children have had a preventative dental visit in the past year, with 12% reported as having carious teeth or caries, and 6% having fair or poor condition of the teeth. In particular, children aged 2-5, children with no health insurance, and those from lower-income and lower-educated households had a lower likelihood of a preventative dental visit as well as specific preventive services. “We know how important teeth are to overall health and confidence and are urging every parent and caregiver to help make sure their children follow good oral hygiene every day,” said Dr. Casellini.

Visiting a dentist causes fear in over 75% of adults in American adults—and this can lead to children picking up on that fear. Most adults know that brushing the teeth twice a day, flossing, and eating a healthy diet along with attending regular dental checkups are good things to do. However, it’s also important to establish and encourage this habit with children as preventative care can give that healthy happy smile we love to see, and knowing their teeth look their best gives them the confidence to smile even brighter.

Swiss Quality Smile is one of the leading providers of Zoom teeth whitening in West Los Angeles. Zoom provides immediate results in about an hour and, compared with other popular treatments, the results last longer and sustain less fading. ”We know that a whiter, brighter smile can help anyone feel better about themselves as well as leaving a memorable impression, so we want everyone to feel comfortable,” noted Dr. Casellini.

On their website, patient testimonials and reviews highlight Swiss Quality Smile’s professionalism, quality, and caring attitude with every patient. A review boasting 5-Stars from Whitney G. says: “Dr. Casellini and her staff are excellent—very thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. I have been going to her as my dentist for the past 5 years, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Her office is beautiful, extremely clean, elegant, and bright, with an incredible view of Westwood village and the hills behind it. I have seen her for regular dental checkups, cavity drilling, and fillings as well as cosmetic teeth whitening. She also helped refer me to an excellent specialist who removed my wisdom teeth. Each time I see her, she is friendly and welcoming, and goes above and beyond to make sure the experience is as pleasant as can be. Great dentist!”

The American Dental Association recommends seeing a dentist and dental hygienist at least two times each year in order to maintain optimal health and teeth hygiene. These visits are not just for keeping teeth white but can also prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Another 5-star patient review from E. G., a Verified Patient, said: “Dr. Casellini is easy going and warm. She, along with her lovely staff, creates an office environment that is inviting to those who, like me, shy away from the dentist. She is receptive to hearing and understanding any nerves or anxieties you may have and takes the time to answer questions and reassure you. I just had a veneer done; for me, it was emotional but knowing that I was in the hands of someone who cares about my teeth as much as I do makes all the difference!”
