WHAT WE OFFER

Innovative Dentistry is dedicated to preventive dentistry for your whole family. That means that we want to work with you and every member so that they understand their part in keeping down dental bills (regardless of whether some of this is covered by insurance). If we all work together at this, they should understand, there will also be far less pain from cavities, gum disease, or lost teeth that need to be replaced

ORAL HEALTH EDUCATION STARTS EARLY

Oral health education should start at the earliest age. Children’s baby teeth begin erupting in 6-12 months until age three, so it is important to teach them basic brushing and flossing. They should see Dr. Jesmine as the doctor who helps them avoid pain in the mouth. As they get older, you and she can explain that constantly eating or drinking sweets without brushing right away will cause the teeth and gums to become infected by the sticky bacterial film called plaque. Make it fun for the whole family to brush and floss at the beginning and end of each day.
You can also help everyone keep their mouths healthy by serving meals that emphasize healthy fats, proteins, and complex carbohydrates like whole grains, seeds, nuts, beans, and peas. Simple carbs like white sugar and white flour quickly turn into an acid that eats away tooth enamel and attracts oral bacteria which infect the gums. Eventually, this can result in teeth becoming loose and either falling out or needing to be extracted (the ultimate mouth ouch!).

To take personal efforts at keeping teeth and gums healthy to another preventive level, every member of the family should have our dental hygienist do a professional cleaning twice a year (serious problems can develop in just six months). Likewise, Dr. Jesmine should conduct a full dental exam for each person twice a year, far beyond what the hygienist can address. In some cases, a digital x-ray will be needed to make sure there are not hidden cavities or an infection in the jawbone.

EARLY CARE IS VALUABLE

If members of your family are having trouble keeping their teeth and gums healthy, it’s time for a full exam and update and what they need to do to improve, such as adding an electric toothbrush, a water flosser, a small bristle brushing for tight places, or a dental-level mouthwash.

I recently visited Dr. Jesmine Boghawala’s long beach dental office for Invisalign, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. From start to finish, my experience was exceptional, and I am excited to share my positive feedback.

First and foremost, Dr. Jesmine Boghawala’s is a fantastic dentist. Her expertise and experience were evident throughout the entire procedure. She took the time to explain each step of the Invisalign process, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed. Her gentle approach and attention to detail made the treatment a breeze. I truly appreciate her professionalism and commitment to patient care.

Furthermore, the entire team at the office was friendly and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The employees demonstrated a deep understanding of customer service, making me feel valued and at ease. Their professionalism and dedication to creating a positive atmosphere were evident throughout my visit.

The office itself is brand new, and it is immaculate. The cleanliness and organization of the facility exceeded my expectations.

One of the aspects I truly appreciated about this dental office was the ample parking available.

I discovered her office through my CPA, whose office is located next door. I feel fortunate to have found such an excellent dentist right in my neighborhood. Given my positive experience, I will certainly be returning for any future dental needs.

Dr. Jesmine and Team have always been a breathe of fresh air when it comes to Dentistry customer service and care. I live in Long Beach but I started at their new Cerritos location. The location is beautiful and well kept and their staff were always welcoming, warm and hospitable. They were always very helpful when explaining services needed, insurance questions and best short term and long term options for me personally. As soon as I heard about their Long Beach location opening, I jump on the opportunity to schedule appointments there too and as expected, the location is clean, aesthetic and staff is equally as welcoming as Cerritos. From one woman owned small business owner to another, they know what matters to customers and they are implementing it at the highest level. I’ll be referring local friends and family to them for sure!
