Each day, food and plaque form around each tooth, and they require more than simply brushing to remove. This is where flossing becomes so important, as it will remove any leftover plaque. Brushing only cleans the sides and tops of teeth, not between them.
Fluoride serves to strengthen your teeth and protect them from forming cavities. Fluoride treatments are notoriously great for children as their teeth develop, but are utilized with our adult patients as well.
Sealants create a protective cover on the chewing surface of your back teeth, creating a safeguard against food or plaque that can get lodged into the uneven surface of your tooth. Its an incredibly popular and painless procedure that lasts for years.

Dr. Malik is a true member of our community. Born, raised, and educated in Ohio, he now finds home in Galena with his wife, Sheri, and their family. A dedicated father to their three children, he now shares his days with his daughter, Emi, who followed in his dentistry footsteps and also works at Westerville Dental Health.
Joining the team at Westerville Dental Health, Dr. Malik connected immensely with the customer-oriented approach within the practice. He had abandoned the corporate-minded companies in favor of a more personalized practice that prioritized patients over their wallets.
Dr. Malik felt right at home at Westerville Dental Health, so much so that just six years later, in January 1998, Dr. Malik became the sole proprietor. Under his carefully crafted direction, the practice has continued to flourish and grow, prompting a 2005 move to a bigger property that could better accommodate the growing business.
Dr. Malik has often said, Patients dont care how much you know until they know how much you care. Dr. Malik puts his personal cell phone number on the answering machine at night. He is truly just a phone call away.
