While practicing basic oral hygiene at home is the greatest way to prevent dental problems, professional cleanings and exams are essential to keep your teeth strong and healthy. We recommend visiting our dental office twice a year for a thorough cleaning. We will also provide you with tailored recommendations on how to improve your oral hygiene.
During your bi-yearly visit, you can expect an oral exam and x-rays at least once a year. The exams are quick and painless. Our hygienist’s screen for cavities, decay, overcrowding, infection, and other issues. If there are any problems, it will be easier to fix them now than wait until they become a major problem.
After performing the exams, the hygienist will remove any plaque buildup along your gum line. A tool called a scalar will be used to remove plaque and bacteria that have hardened above and below the gum line. Following the removal of plaque, you will receive a professional, deep cleaning of your teeth. The cleaning will not be painful, and several people enjoy this part of the check-up. Your teeth will feel brand new after the polishing.
To finish off your check-up, the hygienist will floss your teeth. Flossing is one of the essential parts of oral hygiene, yet people often forget it. We understand that it can be challenging to reach those back molars, but we know that making an effort to get the back molars can save you time and money with restorations. We will provide you with personalized tips on improving your oral hygiene at home.
