I believe that regular care, such as getting your teeth cleanings and exams, is the most important thing, in aspect of what we do here. Because you’re educating people about what we actually do and what a cavity is and how to brush your teeth. And this is where you really can connect with the patient and give them the tools for what they need to maintain great oral health. I mean, we’re seeing you more than you might see your actual doctor. So we might catch things that you might bring to your attention that you might need to ask your doctor about, things like that. But also in those six checkups, we’re able to catch things very early on as well. And things don’t get too large and start to cause you pain and stuff like that. And during this time, it’s a lot about education and teaching you the best toothpaste to use, the way to floss. And you might need to use that electric toothbrush now, things like that. Prevention is the best. It’s the most important. Aspect of dentistry and prevention is something that you find at your cleanings and regular exams and x-rays. So it’s something that you really can’t neglect.
Keep Up Your Oral Health by Getting Regular Checkups
Every patient can count on personalized care at our practice. We want to get to know you and your smile goals. It’s how we help you protect your oral health for decades to come.
Professional cleanings and exams are an essential part of our general dentistry. During your visits, we can do several things for you:
- Teeth Cleaning – This is done to remove tartar or plaque buildup from your teeth. It reduces your risk of cavities and gum disease. If it’s your first visit, it’s likely your visit will include your cleaning and exam in the same appointment. It varies according to your smile’s condition.
- Digital X-rays – X-rays are an invaluable tool for finding problems in the early stages and monitoring changes to your teeth. Digital X-rays use a fraction of the radiation of traditional X-rays.
- Intraoral Imaging – Using an intraoral camera, we can take a closer look at your mouth than we could with the naked eye.
- Thorough Exams – While we are examining your mouth, we aren’t just looking for decay and periodontal infections. We are watching for any signs of oral cancer as well. Early detection can go a long way in the success of treatment.
Your comfort is a priority for our team as well. During your visits, you have the option of using a comfy pillow, a cozy blanket, or both. We also offer laughing gas, which can provide painless procedures and peace of mind.
