We applaud anyone with a regular brushing and flossing routine. But not even the best at-home regimen can get a smile as clean as it needs to be. It takes a trained eye and special tools, like the kind Dr. Latner<\/a> and our team at Westside Dental Associates<\/a> use, to really get a smile at its cleanest. That\u2019s why we recommend that patients see us every six months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can You Expect During Your Visit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you\u2019re in our office, Dr. Latner<\/strong> will check your smile for signs of gum disease and tooth decay, as well as teeth grinding, TMJ dysfunction, and even oral cancer. Letting us keep a close eye on these things helps us give you the most personalized care possible. If we find anything, we can immediately begin working on a treatment plan that\u2019s based on your medical history and is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Look Forward to Welcoming You In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not sure what services<\/a> we offer? Explore our website to find out more about what we offer. And if you\u2019re ready to schedule an appointment with us, just call<\/a> our Los Angeles<\/strong> office today at (310) 477-1081. Dr. Latner<\/strong> would be happy to answer your questions and do everything possible to help you achieve optimal oral health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We applaud anyone with a regular brushing and flossing routine.
