Significance of Routine Dental Checkups
When we eat or drink, a thin, sticky layer forms on the surface of our teeth, known as plaque. It is a mixture of saliva, food remnants, and oral microbes. Normally, it is easy to remove plaque with regular brushing and flossing. However, a lack of proper oral hygiene may result in the hardening of plaque deposits, forming calculus or tartar.
Plaque and tartar formation can greatly increase the risk of common dental issues, including tooth decay and periodontal disease. For this reason, we provide professional dental exams and cleanings as a part of preventive dentistry.
This way, we can detect possible risks early and address them before they threaten your oral health and smile.
What to Expect From Dental Cleanings and Exams
At our facility, the procedure of dental exams and cleanings is completely painless and comfortable.
- First, we start off with a comprehensive oral examination. Our dentist will check the health of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, looking for potential signs of cavities, gum disease, or other issues. If we detect any problem, we will discuss the best treatment measures to optimize your oral health.
- The next step is professional dental cleaning. For this process, we will use an ultrasonic scaler to break down the plaque and tartar deposits on your tooth surfaces. Our dentist will gently glide the scaler tip near the gum line to ensure proper cleaning.
- After this procedure, we will apply a gritty paste on your teeth and rub it in with an electronic brush. It polishes your teeth and instantly brightens your smile. We may also apply a fluoride varnish to provide additional protection to your teeth.
