Why Are Dental Cleaning and Exams Important?
Even with consistent brushing and flossing, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Over time, this plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. If left untreated, tartar can lead to gum disease, cavities and other oral health concerns. Regular dental exams also allow us to detect any issues early, preventing more complex treatments down the road.
Cleanings and exams are not just about oral health – they also support overall wellness. Research has shown that gum disease is linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes, making routine dental care an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
- Comprehensive Exam: We will examine your teeth, gums and mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease or other issues. X-rays may be taken if needed to detect problems below the surface.
- Professional Cleaning: Our hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, paying close attention to areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing. Your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and leave your smile feeling fresh.
