A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit.

At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will include the following:

  • Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
  • Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
  • Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
  • Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
  • Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc.

What Should I Do Between Dental Visits?

Be sure to take care of your teeth and gums between regular dental visits. Plaque is always forming on your teeth, but you can manage it by brushing and flossing regularly.

What’s Right For Me? A Deep Cleaning Or A Regular Cleaning?

Preventive Cleaning

A dental hygienist will scrape away plaque and tartar from your teeth using a special instrument. Then, your teeth will be cleaned, polished, and flossed. Preventive cleanings are meant for those who do not have excessive plaque or tartar build-up on their teeth. If a patient is found to have more build-up than what can be taken care of by a preventive cleaning, they will be referred for a deep cleaning instead.

Deep Cleaning

A deep cleaning is not necessary for every patient. You will be informed by your dental care team if you require one. It is a special type of cleaning that is focused on eliminating the excessive build-up of bacteria that causes gum disease. If you have gingivitis or a more severe case of gum disease, you will need a deep cleaning. The roots of your teeth will also be smoothed to eliminate pockets of bacteria.

Why Should I Come To Dental Appointments?
Regular dental visits are important because they can help spot dental health problems early on when treatment is likely to be simpler and more affordable. They also help prevent many problems from developing in the first place.
I Don't Have Any Symptoms. Should I Still See A Dentist?
Yes. Even if you don’t have any symptoms, an issue with your teeth may still be present. Regular dental visits will help prevent those problems from developing to the point where they are noticeable.
How Often Should I See The Dentist?

It is recommended that a general dental check-up takes place at least twice a year or every six months.
