Education & Prevention

Dr. Aluru truly believes that preventative care and education are the keys to maintain excellent dental health.  We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”; that’s why our focus is on comprehensive exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking X-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are crucial in preventing decay and disease.  Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about the health of your smile.  Many people don't know that you oral care has a direct effect on your overall health. Research shows that 93% of people with gum disease are at risk for diabetes. Did you know that gum disease and cavities are spread through kissing, sharing food and utensils.

Uncompromising Safety

Infection control in our office is also very important to us.  To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
