How Important is Oral Hygiene?

The elimination of bacteria from the mouth necessitates oral care. If plaque is not removed, bacteria can build up and cause long-term problems like gingivitis, mild gum disease, and periodontal disease. Inflammation, infection, decay, and tooth loss can all be avoided with regular dental check-ups and excellent dental care.

Why Go For A Dental Exam?

We can review your current dental care practices and give recommendations for future care to keep you safe from cavities and gum disease. They also enable us to spot problems early on, resolving them swiftly and efficiently.

How Often Should You Undergo Dental Exam?

Dental exams should be done every six months in most cases. Consult with our experts to determine how often you should be inspected, as factors such as smoking, cavity frequency, genetic vulnerability to tooth and root decay, and gum disease may necessitate more regular visits.

What Should You Expect From A Dental Exam?

Our professionals will meticulously clean your teeth during a normal dental check-up, eliminating any surface stains or deposits known as tartar or calculus, which are more difficult to remove than plaque and require the use of specialized dental instruments. We'll also search for signs of decay or gum disease. An X-ray may be conducted to get a complete view of your dental health and to pinpoint any problems. We'll ask about your current dental hygiene habits, such as how often you brush and floss and whether you use fluoride toothpaste. We will provide detailed information about proper dental care and offer advice on how to change your behaviors to maintain excellent oral health using this information.

How To Prepare For A Dental Exam?

Good dental hygiene is the most excellent method to prepare for a dental check-up. Before you go to your appointment, make sure you brush your teeth. It would help if you brushed your teeth twice a day and flossed at least once a day. Our staff will clean your teeth for you, but it's a good idea to brush your teeth first to remove any food or plaque so we can focus on the most difficult-to-clean places. You should also be prepared to share pertinent information with us, such as your medical history, insurance coverage, and current dental care procedures. Don't be embarrassed to talk about your oral health habits; our team of experts is here to help you improve your habits and keep your teeth healthy, not judge you! Finally, be prepared to schedule a follow-up visit or a future check-up after your dental check-up.
