Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Regular dental checkups and cleanings play an important role in preventing oral health problems and keeping your mouth happy and fresh. During these visits, Dr.Vidya can spot early signs of issues like cavities, gum disease, and even oral cancer. Treating issues like these early makes the procedures easier, less expensive, and more effective!
Additionally, professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing and flossing might miss, helping to prevent decay and gum disease. By scheduling routine visits every six months, you not only protect your oral health, but you also reduce the risk of dental emergencies and prevent other conditions like heart disease.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
During a dental checkup, our team will thoroughly examine your mouth to assess your overall oral health. This includes checking your teeth for cavities, inspecting your gums for signs of disease, and evaluating your bite and jaw alignment.
Dr.Vidya may also take X-rays to get a closer look at the health of your teeth, roots, and bone structure to detect anything that might be hiding there. She will also review your medical history, screen for oral cancer, and discuss any concerns you may have. This comprehensive approach is how we make sure that we find any oral issues are caught early to save you time, money, and discomfort.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Our dental cleanings are typically performed by one of our incredible dental hygienists! This process involves several important steps to help you achieve a sparkling smile.
- First, your hygienist will use special tools to remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth, especially in areas that are hard to reach with regular brushing.
- Next, your teeth will be flossed thoroughly to dislodge any lingering food particles or debris that might be irritating your mouth.
- Lastly, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and give them a smooth, shiny finish.
Throughout the cleaning, you’ll receive tips and guidance on how to improve your at-home oral hygiene routine, so you can keep your smile bright and healthy between visits.
