At our clinic, we aim to maintain and improve our patients' oral health by providing comfortable and high-quality dental services. Oral hygiene involves the regular maintenance and upkeep of oral hygiene to prevent dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. This includes regular dental check-ups, oral hygiene appointments, and preventative care treatments.
During your dental check-up, we will examine your teeth and gums to determine if there are any cavities, decayed or decaying teeth, or signs of gum disease. Depending on how long it has been since your last set of X-rays or any other symptoms you may be experiencing at the time, we may take X-rays.
For your teeth cleaning appointment, our dentist or dental hygienist will scrape between your teeth and below the gum line to remove tartar and plaque, which can often cause gum disease. If your check-up shows signs of pocketing gums, you might also need a dental deep cleaning procedure to heal your gums thoroughly.
