Comprehensive Preventive Care for a Healthier Smile

Dental cleanings and check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. These routine visits help detect issues early, prevent serious dental problems, and keep your teeth and gums in top condition.

What Happens During a Dental Cleaning & Check-Up?

• Cleaning (Prophylaxis): Removal of plaque and tartar using scalers and ultrasonic devices to prevent cavities and gum disease.
• Examining the Teeth: Inspection for signs of decay, damage, or issues with previous dental work.
• Gum Evaluation: Assessment for gingivitis or periodontal disease to ensure gum health.
• X-rays (if needed): Detecting hidden problems such as cavities between teeth or bone issues.
• Oral Cancer Screening: Examination of lips, tongue, throat, and oral tissues for early signs of cancer.
• Education and Advice: Guidance on brushing, flossing, diet, and lifestyle choices affecting oral health.
• Treatment Planning: Discussion of treatment options for any detected issues such as cavities or infections.

Regular dental cleanings and check-ups (typically every six months) play a vital role in preventing oral health issues. These visits ensure problems are caught early, reducing the need for more extensive and costly treatments.
