It isn’t surprising that a family dentist such as Dr. Luu of Gentle Care Dentistry of San Gabriel Valley believes that thorough dental care habits are the foundation of good oral health. Taking care of your teeth can help lead you in the right direction when it comes to your dental health.Patients who follow healthy daily regimens, such as brushing and flossing their teeth and gums, can help combat periodontal disease and improve their overall health and well-being.
Many patients are unaware of the negative effects that periodontal disease can have on the entire body.
Brushing and flossing every day is a great step in committing yourself to your oral health care. Dr. Luu recommends that patients of Gentle Care Dentistry of San Gabriel Valley consider a soft bristle toothbrush rather than a medium or hard brush. This is because a harder bristled brush can erode the enamel over time. The staff at Gentle Care Dentistry of San Gabriel Valley always make sure that patients leave with a “goodie” bag after their routine cleaning. This “goodie” bag consists of soft bristle toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. Dr. Luu wants to ensure that her patients leave her office well equipped to maintain great oral health care at home.
Dr. Luu of Gentle Care Dentistry of San Gabriel Valley is trained and experienced in recognizing the signs and symptoms of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease.

Actual Patient Review

I’ve been coming to see Dr. Luu for many years now, from her previous location and now her newly remodeled office. Her staff is always welcoming and knows how to provide excellent patient care. I always refer friends and coworkers to her, and everyone tells me they are so glad to have found such a great dental office. Their office works really well with children too. My 6 yr old if proof of this. He never enjoyed going to see his previous dentist. But now he doesn’t even complain about getting his baby teeth pulled by Dr. Luu.
