Why People Love Kevin Herring, DDS

Federico V.
My experience, for more of than 15 years, with Dr. Herring’s dental clinic has been just excellent!!! And what impressed me the most is the constant improvement that I can experience in terms of staff, communication, equipment, cleaness, professionalism, friendliness, and quality of the work done! The physical installations are beautiful inside and outside (gardens and parking). Dr. Herring’s dental clinic is an exemplary of what great service and striving for excellence is all about! Thank you for your outstanding service!!!

I’ve been going to Kevin for all my dental work since he started his practice in Prunedale 30 something years ago. He doesn’t try to sell. He listens to what you want and can afford, does the job well, without pain, and sends you on your way. Just got my teeth cleaned from Pam, the hygienist. She was very pleasant, professional, and painless. Can’t beat that. How could they improve? Well, beer and donuts in the lobby would be a nice touch.😳

My first visit to Dr. Herring was excellent. I was welcomed warmly and personally. The staff members are attentive and communicate very well. Services were explained before anything began and were performed with care. When a small defect was found, a plan was presented to me and I was able to discuss completely. Dr. Herring was careful to show me x-ray images and explain everything. He is very nice. I'm looking forward to my next appointment to get my smile back in shape.

Why Dental Checkups are Essential

Dental checkups are a cornerstone of preventive dental care. They allow for early detection of potential issues, preventing the development of more serious problems that could require extensive and costly treatments down the line. By prioritizing preventive care, you're investing in your overall health, as dental health is intricately linked to your body's well-being. Conditions like gum disease have been associated with heart disease, diabetes, and other health issues. Regular checkups ensure that you're not just taking care of your teeth, but also contributing to your long-term health and quality of life.

The Many Benefits of Regular Preventive Care

  • Early Detection of Dental Issues: Regular checkups enable Dr. Herring and our team to catch problems early when they're easier and less expensive to treat.
  • Maintaining Oral Health: Preventive visits help keep gum disease and tooth decay at bay, ensuring your mouth stays healthy and your smile bright.
  • Education and Personalized Advice: Each visit is an opportunity to learn more about your oral health, receive personalized advice on home care, and make informed decisions about your dental treatments.

The Importance of Children's Checkups

Introducing children to regular dental checkups at a young age is crucial for instilling healthy oral hygiene habits that last a lifetime. Our children's checkup is designed to be child-friendly and reassuring, making dental care a positive experience from the start. Early visits help in monitoring the development of your child's teeth, addressing any potential issues promptly, and ensuring they grow up with a healthy, confident smile.

What to Expect During Your Dental Checkup

Our comprehensive checkups are designed to be thorough and reassuring, leaving no stone unturned in the quest for optimal oral health!

Professional Cleaning

A key part of your checkup, professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and flossing might miss, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.

Full Examination

Dr. Herring will conduct a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, looking for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues.

Digital X-rays

With minimal radiation exposure, digital X-rays provide a comprehensive view of your oral health, helping to identify issues that aren't visible to the naked eye.

Oral Cancer Screening

An essential component of every checkup, our oral cancer screening is a precautionary measure that can save lives through early detection.
