Gentle Checkups & Cleanings
While your oral hygiene habits at home play a vital role, nothing can replace the benefits of a professional dental cleaning. We are dedicated to delivering excellence in dental care, and our team is here to ensure that your dental checkups are a positive and comfortable experience.
The Basics of Dental Checkups
Dental checkups, often referred to as routine or general dental visits, are the cornerstone of preventive dental care. These appointments typically occur every six months, although your dentist may recommend a different frequency based on your specific needs. During your dental checkup, several essential components come together to ensure the health of your teeth, gums, and overall oral well-being.
Professional Cleaning
A vital component of your dental checkup is a professional cleaning performed by one of our skilled hygienists. This meticulous cleaning goes beyond what you can achieve at home with a toothbrush and floss. Here's what you can expect during your professional cleaning:
Plaque and Tartar Removal: Our hygienists use special instruments to eliminate stubborn plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. Tartar, or hardened plaque, is a primary contributor to tooth decay and gum disease. Regular professional cleanings are essential to remove this buildup and protect your oral health.
Stain Removal: We understand the importance of a bright and stain-free smile. Our team will carefully remove surface stains, leaving your teeth looking refreshed and revitalized.
Gum Health Assessment: Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our hygienists will assess the condition of your gums and provide guidance on maintaining optimal gum health.
Maintaining a regular schedule of professional cleanings is vital to safeguarding your oral health throughout your life. It's a simple yet effective way to prevent dental issues and maintain a beautiful smile.
Digital X-rays
Advanced technology plays a significant role in our dental checkups. Digital X-rays provide a clear and detailed view of your oral structures, enabling us to identify any hidden issues. We prioritize your safety by using low radiation doses during these X-rays.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Your well-being is our top priority. As part of your checkup, we include oral cancer screenings. These screenings are a proactive measure to detect any potential signs of oral cancer early. Early detection is critical for successful treatment, and our team is diligent in this aspect of your care.
Dental Exam
A comprehensive dental exam is a crucial part of your checkup. During this examination, Dr. Paes and our experienced team will perform a detailed assessment of your:
- Teeth
- Jaws
- Oral soft tissues
