Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are crucial for maintaining good oral health. During a checkup, we can spot early signs of problems like cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer, which are easier and less expensive to treat when caught early. Cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing might miss, preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
Additionally, regular visits help in detecting issues like bad breath or tooth wear caused by grinding. They also allow us to assess the overall health of your teeth and gums, ensuring that you maintain a bright, healthy smile. Preventive care from these visits can save you from more complex dental treatments in the future.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
During a dental checkup, we typically start with a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth, and gums. We’ll look for signs of cavities, gum disease, or any other oral health issues. If needed, we may take X-rays to get a deeper view of your teeth and jaw.
Before you leave, we’ll offer personalized advice on how to maintain your oral health at home and may schedule your next checkup or suggest further treatments if needed.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
During a dental cleaning, we start by examining your teeth and gums to assess their condition. Then, we use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup, especially in hard-to-reach areas that brushing and flossing might miss.
Next, we’ll perform a deep cleaning, which involves scaling to remove tartar around the gumline and smoothing out your teeth’s surfaces. Once your teeth are free of buildup, we polish them to remove surface stains and give them a smooth finish.
Throughout the cleaning, we’ll check for signs of gum disease or other oral health concerns. If we spot any issues, we’ll discuss them with you and recommend further care if necessary. We’ll also offer advice on maintaining healthy habits between visits.
