Professional Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings rid your teeth of harmful plaque and tartar build-up. This is important for preventing tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other oral health issues. Not to mention, these cleanings may even remove some unsightly surface stains, which can help keep your teeth looking whiter and brighter.
Preventive Dental Exams
During your preventive dental exam, your dentist and oral hygienist will take certain steps to help the health of your mouth, including:
- Evaluate your overall oral health.
- Discuss oral hygiene best practices and habits.
- Check your bite and jaw for any issues.
- Evaluate your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer.
- Evaluate existing tooth restorations.
- Take dental x-rays, if necessary.
