General & Family Dentistry
Prevention Starts Early
Cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and other dental concerns can begin quietly. Regular preventive visits allow Dr. David Magid, DMD, to identify changes early, protect your oral health, and address concerns before they become bigger problems. As a general dentist and family dentist, he sees children from about age 2 and adults of every age, so one office can look after the whole household.

We examine your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and oral tissues. When appropriate, digital x-rays, an intraoral camera, and other diagnostic technology help us identify issues that aren't visible during a routine examination.
Patient Education
Preventive Services
Preventive dentistry goes beyond a cleaning. Your care is tailored to your oral health and may include several services designed to monitor, protect, and maintain your smile.
Your first visit is a comprehensive exam with Dr. Magid, including the X-rays and scans he needs. Cleanings with our hygienist follow on their own schedule, with air polishing included every time. Regular visits help catch cavities, gum disease, and wear while they are still small.

A fine jet of warm water, air, and gentle powder lifts plaque, biofilm, and surface stains, so your cleaning is more comfortable. It is included in every cleaning at no extra charge.

A custom nightguard can help protect your teeth from grinding and clenching while you sleep. We make a comfortable, personalized fit from a digital scan of your teeth (no putty trays) and design it around your bite and needs. Protecting your teeth at night can help reduce wear, sensitivity, and jaw discomfort.

Bleeding gums can be an early sign of gum disease. Non-surgical gum therapy in our office, from deep cleanings to soft tissue laser treatment, can help control it early and protect the bone that holds your teeth.
Learn MoreCare Beyond the Chair
We'll help you understand where your smile needs attention and how everyday habits can support healthier teeth and gums.
Your preventive needs aren't necessarily the same as someone else's. Your dental history, oral hygiene, cavity risk, gum health, existing dental work, and habits all play a role in determining the care that's right for you. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we tailor our recommendations around your smile.
After your appointment, you'll know:
Good prevention starts with knowing what your smile needs.
Prevention Comes First
Many dental problems can develop quietly before you notice pain or visible changes. Regular preventive visits allow us to monitor your oral health, address concerns early, and help you avoid more complicated treatment whenever possible.
Regular exams help identify cavities, gum concerns, worn teeth, and other changes before they become more serious.
Professional cleanings and personalized preventive care help keep your teeth, gums, and supporting tissues healthy.
Consistent care gives you the opportunity to address small concerns before they require more extensive treatment.
Children are seen from about age 2 within our family practice. We offer gentle first visits, cleanings, and fluoride when it helps, along with the same unhurried time we give adults.
You shouldn’t wait for a toothache to make an appointment. Regular preventive visits can help identify concerns early and keep your smile on track. And if something does hurt, we see dental emergencies the same day.
Schedule Your Visit
Between Your Visits
Your dental visits are only part of preventive care. Simple habits at home play an important role in protecting your teeth and gums between appointments.
Brush for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste, morning and night, reaching every surface and the gumline.
Floss or use interdental brushes once a day, since brushing alone misses the sides of the teeth, where cavities and gum disease often start.
Limit sugary snacks and all-day sipping of sweet or acidic drinks, and avoid chewing ice. Ask us about a nightguard if you grind at night.
Come in on the schedule we set for you, usually every six months, so small changes are caught while they are small.
Protect Your Smile
Preventive dentistry is one of the simplest ways to stay ahead of dental problems. Give your teeth and gums the consistent care they need to stay healthy for years to come.

Common Questions
Simple answers to the questions we hear most.
Yes, we are accepting new patients of every age. Your first visit is a comprehensive exam with Dr. Magid, about 45 to 60 minutes, including the X-rays and scans he needs. Your cleaning is booked separately. Request an appointment online, and we will text you to confirm.
Yes, from about age 2. Children are seen within our family practice by the same dentist and hygienist as their parents. We offer short, gentle first visits, cleanings, and fluoride when it helps. If a child needs care beyond what we provide, we will say so and help you find it.
Most patients do well with a cleaning and exam every six months, and some need to come more often, such as while gum disease is being managed. We set the right interval with you based on your oral health. Every cleaning here includes air polishing at no extra charge.
Because most dental problems do not hurt until they are advanced. Cavities, early gum disease, and worn enamel are usually painless when they are simplest to treat. An exam, with digital X-rays when due, can find them at that stage, so a visit matters even when nothing hurts.
No. Digital X-rays are taken when they are due or when Dr. Magid needs to see below the gumline, not at every visit. After your baseline exam, check-up X-rays are spaced by your cavity risk and gum health. Digital sensors also use far less radiation than film.
Just book. After any amount of time away, the first step is a comprehensive exam with Dr. Magid, with no lecture, so we know where things stand. A cleaning and a plan for anything that needs attention follow. Sedation options are available if nerves kept you away.
