Understanding Cleaning and Exams
Dental cleaning and exams are the cornerstones of preventive dentistry. These routine procedures go beyond just polishing your teeth – they’re crucial for maintaining your oral health and preventing potential issues. During a cleaning, our skilled hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. This process not only leaves your teeth feeling smooth and looking brighter but also helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
The exam portion allows our dentists to thoroughly assess your oral health. We use advanced diagnostic tools to check for cavities, evaluate gum health, and screen for oral cancer. This comprehensive approach enables us to detect potential problems in their earliest stages when they’re easiest to treat.
