When Should Your Family Visit the Dentist?
Visiting the dentist regularly can help detect any small issues early, so proper treatment and care can be provided.
Even if you brush and floss daily, it’s still recommended to schedule a cleaning every 6 months. This way, your dentist can examine your mouth to ensure your hygiene routine is supporting a healthy smile.
More frequent visits may be suggested, depending on your oral health and risk of developing disease.
What to Expect from Your Cleaning & Exam
A visit to the dentist typically consists of a dental cleaning and dental exam.
During your appointment, we’ll go over your medical history and answer any questions or concerns you have so your experience with us is comfortable and thorough. Our friendly team explains each step of our process and provides information for optimal at-home care.
A dental cleaning can help keep your mouth in top shape and prevent issues such as gum disease and tooth decay. During your appointment, our professional hygienists can:
- Inspect your teeth and mouth for any potential concerns
- Remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gumline
- Polish your teeth with gritty toothpaste for a deep clean
- Professionally floss to target trouble spots and remove leftover plaque or polish
- Apply a fluoride treatment for protection
A comprehensive dental exam allows your dentist to take an in-depth look at your teeth and overall oral health. During your exam, your dentist looks for:
- Damaged or decaying teeth
- Signs of cavities
- The health of your gums
- Proper spacing of your teeth and bite
- Previous dental work and how it’s holding up
- The function of your temporomandibular joint and signs of TMJ
