Importance of Dental Cleanings and Exams
Dental cleanings and exams are crucial for preventing oral health problems such as cavities, gum disease and oral cancer. During a professional cleaning, dental hygienists use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gums, reducing the risk of decay and inflammation. Regular exams allow us to thoroughly assess the oral cavity for signs of decay, gum disease and other abnormalities, enabling early intervention and treatment. Maintaining good oral health through regular cleanings and exams also contributes to overall health, as oral health is linked to systemic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
What To Expect
- Professional Cleaning: Our dental hygienists will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, including those hard-to-reach areas that regular brushing and flossing may miss.
- Comprehensive Examination: We will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and oral structures, looking for signs of decay, gum disease and other abnormalities.
- X-rays: If necessary, X-rays may be taken to detect issues such as cavities, bone loss and impacted teeth that are not visible during a visual examination.
- Treatment Planning: Based on the findings of the cleaning and examination, a personalized treatment plan will be developed to address any existing dental issues and prevent future problems.
