Rinsing with water or mouthwash immediately after brushing washes away the concentrated fluoride left by your toothpaste, reducing its ability to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities by up to 25%.
Skipping the rinse keeps this protective, high-concentration fluoride on your teeth, allowing for better, longer-lasting protection against tooth decay.
Best to rinse before brushing, or wait 30 minutes after brushing.

Has it been a while since you've been seen by your dentist or hygienist?
Periodontal (Gum) Disease is considered "silent" because although you may notice some bleeding when brushing or flossing, there is often no dental pain associated with gum disease.
In 2026, let's all be proactive about our oral healthcare and PREVENT the damage that can accumulate to your teeth and gums without proper care and maintenance.
Call our team at Santa Monica Dental Arts for your preventive care appointment today! 310-395-1261.

COLD SORES - most of us have had one at some point, and some of seem to get them a lot. Caused by a virus, these sores most often appear on your lip, but may show up on other areas of your face and inside of your mouth.

HOW TO TREAT COLD SORES: Your physician may prescribe various anti-viral topical medications for relief of pain. There are also oral medications which may be dispensed.

CAN DENTAL LASER TREATMENT HELP? Yes!! We are one of the few offices in Santa Monica that offers diode laser treatment for cold sores. Many patients seek us out for this specialized care. If you catch your sore early, when it's just appearing, we use our laser treatment for around 10 minutes above the affected area. It helps "dry up" the lesion, helps reduce inflammation and stops the progression of the sore in its tracks.

If you are looking for relief from a cold sore outbreak, call our team at Santa Monica Dental Arts for an appointment ASAP.

Black History Month, celebrated every February in the U.S. and Canada, is an annual observance honoring the achievements, contributions, and central role of African Americans in U.S. history, recognizing their rich culture and experiences often overlooked in broader historical narratives, and highlighting ongoing efforts to combat systemic racism and promote equality. It's a time for reflection, education, and celebrating Black excellence in all fields, originating from "Negro History Week" started by Carter G. Woodson and officially recognized by President Gerald Ford in 1976.

Natural teeth are incredibly tough, with enamel being the hardest substance in the body, even stronger than bone, allowing them to withstand immense chewing forces due to their mineral-rich structure and unique internal compression that prevents cracks from spreading. While very strong, this hardness can be challenged by acids, grinding, and sugar, which can lead to erosion and decay, highlighting the need for good oral care to maintain their resilience.

Our terrific team at Santa Monica Dental Arts wants to help you maintain your healthy, strong teeth for a lifetime. If alternatives are needed such as veneers, crowns, implants or bridges, we are the peoples' choice for dental restorative care in Santa Monica and surrounding areas.

Proudly serving patients in Santa Monica since January, 2005:

Happy 2026 Everybody!

Our new office @ 1227 Lincoln is a big hit with our patients! They are loving our spacious new office with convenient parking accommodations.

Thank you to everybody who has complimented our beautiful new space! Also, thank you to all for the 5 star ratings and wonderful reviews on Google. We really appreciate our patients helping others in the community to find their new dental home.

Did you know that we have the latest in technology in our office? We are able to help stop your cold sores in their tracks with our diode lasers, and we can also reduce inflammation in your painful TMJs using our lasers. Using the lasers during non-surgical gum care (root planing and scaling) reduces bleeding, eradicates bacteria and encourages healthy new tissue growth.

We used digital scanners to create virtual diagnostic models of your teeth and gums, which can help in treatment planning; we also use the digital scanners to prepare indirect restorations (crowns & onlays) also to create Invisalign aligners, retainers & night guards.

We have our new, updated digital scanner in our office today, and we are happy to use it for even better service to our great patients!
