Preventative dentistry is based on regular cleaning and dental examinations to prevent cavities and gum infections. Regular brushing and flossing is a vital part of your dental health care, but they don’t remove all the plaque and tartar from your teeth. We recommend coming for a cleaning at least every six months to 1 year.
Oral Hygiene
During an oral hygiene appointment, your hygienist will use a scaler to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. They’ll also use a polisher to clean the surface of your teeth, and they may apply a fluoride treatment as well.
Dental Exam
Regular dental exams let us keep a record of your dental health, and they also aid in the early detection and treatment of issues such as decay. A typical dental exam includes a thorough examination of your mouth, X-rays, and oral cancer screening.
