Dental cleanings and exams are fundamental to maintaining your oral health and ensuring a beautiful smile. At our practice, we recommend that you schedule a dental cleaning and exam every six months. These routine visits enable us to keep a close watch on your oral health and address any issues promptly. Depending on your specific needs, our dentist may suggest more frequent visits.
During your dental cleaning and exam, our team will:
- Perform a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar (calculus) from your teeth.
- Floss your teeth to eliminate plaque from between your teeth.
- Polish your teeth to remove surface stains and make your smile shine.
- Examine your teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum disease or other dental conditions.
We may also take dental X-rays to detect cavities and other problems that are not visible during the regular exam. These X-rays help us identify issues early, allowing for more effective and less invasive treatment.
Regular dental cleanings are crucial because they help prevent gum disease, cavities and other oral health problems. Plaque and tartar build-up can lead to serious issues if not removed regularly. Our professional cleaning process ensures that even the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth are clean and healthy.
In addition to your regular visits, we encourage you to contact us if you experience any pain or have a dental emergency. Our experienced dentist and team are dedicated to providing the care you need to relieve discomfort and restore your oral health.
