Oral Examinations

Ideally twice a year, you'll visit your dentist to give them the opportunity to perform a routine oral exam, which will reveal any emerging oral health issues. Your dentist will develop a plan to treat these issues accordingly.

During the exam, your dentist will closely check the health of your teeth, gums, bite and jaw. Exams may also include dental x-rays and other diagnostic procedures.

Oral Health Care at Home

Keep your smile healthy between dental appointments by brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time. Don't forget to floss at least once per day.

Hygiene Cleaning

Your dentist will perform a deep cleaning of your teeth and gums to prevent and treat disease, either before or after your exam.

To start, they will use a scaler to remove any plaque buildup and tartar. Next, a polisher topped with coarse toothpaste will be used to remove any remaining stains or plaque. This will be followed with a thorough flossing of your teeth and gums.

Fluoride Treatment

If you or your child are at high risk of tooth decay, a fluoride treatment may also be recommended. This natural mineral can help to rebuild minerals found in your tooth enamel to prevent or reverse tooth decay.
