At Bethesda Dental Care, we make preventive dental visits comfortable and convenient for patients in Bethesda. Through thorough exams and gentle cleanings, our friendly team helps you avoid dental problems and keep your smile healthy and bright.

Comprehensive Exams & Digital X-Rays

Every checkup includes a comprehensive oral exam by Dr. Herman to catch issues early. We use low-radiation digital X-rays and visual screenings to detect cavities, gum disease, or other concerns before they worsen. Early detection means simpler, more affordable treatment to keep your mouth healthy.

Gentle, Thorough Cleanings

Our experienced hygienists provide gentle dental cleanings that leave your teeth polished and refreshed. Using special instruments, we carefully remove plaque and tartar to prevent decay and gum issues—all while keeping you comfortable. You can even enjoy a show on our ceiling-mounted TV to relax during your visit.

Advanced Dental Technology

We invest in state-of-the-art dental technology for better care and accuracy. An intraoral camera lets you see what we see, with magnified images of your teeth projected on a screen. This way, Dr. Herman can clearly explain any findings and involve you in your treatment decisions, making dental care transparent and stress-free.

Gum Disease Prevention

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. That’s why we monitor your gum health at every visit and address any early signs of gingivitis promptly. If needed, our team can provide periodontal therapy like deep cleanings to halt gum disease progression. Protecting your gums now helps prevent tooth loss and benefits your overall health.

Patient Education & Home Care

Good oral hygiene at home is key to long-term dental health. Our team takes time to educate you on proper brushing and flossing techniques tailored to your needs. We’ll also recommend any helpful tools or products (like specific toothbrushes or rinses) to boost your at-home care. With our guidance, you can confidently maintain a cavity-free, sparkling smile between visits.

Protective Mouthguards for Athletes

If you or your child play sports, a custom-fitted mouthguard is a game changer for safety. We create personalized mouthguards that shield the teeth and gums from impact far better than generic store-bought guards. They’re durable, comfortable to wear, and designed just for your bite—helping prevent dental injuries so you can play with peace of mind.
