Cleaning | Comprehensive Exam | Flouride Treatment | Oral Cancer Screening
The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist every six months. Preventive dental care can help you reduce or avoid future costs by preventing and finding potential issues sooner. Because many diseases and conditions first show signs in your mouth, good dental health and a strong relationship with your dental office are important steps in your overall health
The doctor will review all findings and discuss possible treatment options to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
Fluoride can be an important part of preventing tooth decay in patients of all ages. During your visit, we will determine your risk for dental decay by discussing your diet, home care, previous decay history, illnesses and prescription medications. Fluoride treatment can be done in the office, or at home.
In the office: Treatment can be done during your regular exam using a tray with gel or foam fluoride. A more highly concentrated fluoride varnish that is brushed onto your teeth can also be used.
At home: Options for fluoride treatment include prescription toothpastes or a daily rinse. It is important to follow all recommendations made by your dentist and to also be aware of the fluoride levels in your water.
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Kendall Pointe Dental provides oral cancer screenings as part of your regular dental exam. There are two main risk factors for oral cancer. Smoking and tobacco use are long-term historic causes of oral cancer. In addition, the HPV-16 virus, a sexually-transmitted disease, is resulting in the fastest-growing segment of oral cancer patients being young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals.
When found early, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. Dentists can be a first line of defense in identifying abnormalities in the mouth, which could be a sign of oral cancer.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The waiting area is like a warm cozy living room. The exam rooms are modern and bright with windows that allow you to relax and view all that is going on outside. Most importantly the professional staff is engaging and interested in getting to know you on a long term basis. I highly encourage anyone looking for a local dental practice to visit and experience all of these things for themselves. You will not be disappointed.
Brought my little sister to have her teeth cleaned and in her words it was the easiest/ best dental appointment she has had. She got a cleaning, exam, X-rays, and sealants in about half an hour.
As a result of the pandemic, I had not been able to see my dentist in over a year for my routine cleaning/examination. Additionally, I was very frustrated when I called and discovered that they were receiving clients again but failed to notify me. I had been a client for 30+ years. I was referred to Kendall Pointe Dental and wanted to share my experience. The first thing you notice is the warm, relaxing, home like environment. I was made to feel welcome and comfortable by the friendly staff as soon as I entered. Christine, the hygienist, was very gentle and professional examining and informative. Dr. Ravi has a calming and caring presence which is a must in my opinion. I received excellent care and I will be coming here for all my future dental needs. Kudos and the highest recommendation!
Very friendly and professional staff. Dr Palmer did a very thorough exam and took the time to explain the results. Would highly recommend Kendal Point Dental.
Dr. Hubbard was great with my 2 year old for her first dental exam. She also pulled a wisdom tooth for me while I was pregnant. Her and her staff put me at ease and made me feel so comfortable. The front desk ladies are beyond wonderful! Everyone is smiling and friendly.
