Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
The fact is, plaque and tartar can accumulate even with the best at-home care! Unfortunately, there will always be spots you miss, leading to cavities or inflammation.
Consistent dental checkups and cleanings are therefore critical for preventing tooth decay, gum disease, and a host of other oral health issues. During these visits, Dr. Patel will identify potential dental issues before they worsen, saving you time, money, and discomfort!
Routine appointments can also play a role in your overall health. The American Heart Association has linked conditions like heart disease and diabetes to poor oral hygiene. So, by prioritizing regular dental checkups and cleanings, you protect more than just your smile!
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
Dental checkups are comprehensive evaluations designed to ensure your oral health is in excellent shape. Here’s what typically happens:
- Exam: Dr. Patel will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, or other issues.
- X-rays: If needed, we’ll take X-rays to get a deeper look at areas not visible during the exam.
- Oral Cancer Screening: A quick but thorough check of your tongue, throat, and other soft tissues ensures no signs of abnormalities are present.
- Discussion: We’ll talk about your oral hygiene habits, any concerns, and recommendations to improve your dental health.
With every part of this process, our goal is to provide personalized care that keeps your smile strong and healthy!
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Dental cleanings go beyond your daily brushing and flossing routine, targeting stubborn plaque and tartar. Here’s what you can expect:
- Scaling: Our hygienist uses specialized tools to gently remove buildup around your teeth and along the gumline.
- Polishing: A high-powered toothbrush and gritty toothpaste polish your teeth, removing surface stains and leaving your smile shiny.
- Flossing: Even hard-to-reach areas are no match for a professional flossing!
- Optional Fluoride Treatment: If you’re concerned about cavities, we can apply a fluoride treatment for added protection.
