Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Routine checkups are crucial because tooth decay, oral cancer, and other serious oral health concerns can develop and progress under the radar. By periodically examining your teeth, gums, and the soft tissue in your mouth, we can catch issues like these as well as put a plan in place to have them treated, benefiting your oral and overall health in the process.
Dental cleanings, which are also known as prophylaxis, are necessary even if you brush and floss daily. After all, your toothbrush and floss cannot remove debris from the hidden, hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Plus, these deposits could cause a host of problems over time. With the special tools we have at our office, we can effectively remove plaque and tartar deposits from the teeth, helping to keep them healthy.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
Your exam will be with our talented, caring, and experienced dentist, Dr. Rajiv Shekhadiya. After catching up with you (or getting to know you, if this is your first visit), he will take a look at your latest X-rays, take a look at your teeth and gums, and complete an oral cancer screening. From there, he will explain his findings, share if any restorative care is needed, and answer any questions you have.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Following the exam, your teeth will be cleaned by one of our dedicated dental hygienists. With special dental instruments, they will gently and thoroughly remove hard deposits from the mouth. A constant stream of water is used to remove plaque and wash away debris as well. Finally, the teeth are polished using a rotary brush that has very soft bristles, which makes the surface bright and shiny.
