What to Expect During Your Visit

During your cleaning and exam appointment, you can expect the following steps to ensure your teeth and gums are in excellent condition:

• Comprehensive Oral Examination: Our dentist will perform a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. This includes checking for signs of tooth decay, oral cancer, and other dental issues.

• Professional Teeth Cleaning: Our dental hygienist will, performed an oral cancer and Gum disease (Periodontal) screening, remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas that regular brushing and flossing might miss. This process helps prevent cavities and gum disease.

• Digital X-Rays: If necessary, we will take digital x-rays to get a closer look at the health of your teeth and jawbone. X-rays help us detect problems that are not visible to the naked eye, such as impacted teeth, abscesses, or bone loss.

• Fluoride Treatment: To strengthen your tooth enamel and help prevent decay, we may recommend a fluoride treatment. This is particularly beneficial for children but can also be advantageous for adults.

• Personalized Oral Health Advice: Our team will provide you with personalized tips and advice on maintaining your oral hygiene at home. This includes proper brushing and flossing techniques and recommendations for dental products suited to your needs.
