DENTAL EXAMS & REGULAR CLEANINGS
Why is it so important to schedule regular cleanings?
  • A professional cleaning will remove plaque from your teeth. Plaque sticks to teeth and causes tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Remove calculus (tarter) above the gum line. Calculus is plaque that has hardened on the tooth surface and is difficult to remove.
  • Polish and remove stains from teeth
 
 
 

Why is it important to have a dental exam?
Dental examinations help to diagnose disease before it becomes hazardous to your health. In addition, regular examinations can save you money by alleviating problems while they are small and before they become expensive to repair, or in some cases, impossible to repair. Your dental examinations generally include the following:

  • Oral cancer screening
  • Gum disease evaluation
  • Visual examination of tooth decay
  • Examination of diagnostic x-rays to see cysts, tumors, invisible decay and other possible issues
  • Evaluation of status of current restorations
 

Remember that preventing disease is much easier than treating it!
So, we encourage you to schedule your appointment now.
