Comprehensive Oral Examination
Your preventative care visit typically begins with a thorough oral examination. A dentist or dental hygienist will evaluate your teeth, gums, and overall oral structures. This includes checking for cavities, gum disease, and any early signs of oral health issues such as infections or abnormalities. If you do not have a current set of X-rays, new ones will be taken to provide us with a detailed view of areas that are not visible to the naked eye. This proactive approach ensures any potential problems are detected and treated promptly.
Professional Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings are a cornerstone of preventative care. During this part of your visit, plaque and tartar buildup will be removed from your teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas. The hygienist will clean, polish, and floss your teeth, leaving them smooth and refreshed. Removing plaque and tartar is crucial for preventing tooth decay and gum disease, making regular cleanings an essential part of your dental routine.
Review and Treatment Planning
If the examination reveals any issues, your dentist will discuss them with you and suggest a treatment plan. Whether it’s addressing minor cavities or scheduling more complex procedures, you’ll be fully informed about your options. Preventative care visits are also an ideal time to address any concerns or ask questions about your oral health.
