Dr. Melvin Cohen

Huntington Beach Dentist

“My goal as a dentist and health care provider is to prevent disease. The mouth is subject to physical stress, bacterial stress, stress from aging and attrition, and stress from numerous general health issues and the side effects of medication. By emphasizing prevention at home and through bi-annual teeth cleaning and exams, it is my goal to minimize treatment and care and maximize health so that my patients can have the highest level of oral health for a lifetime."
