Hygiene & Prevention

Professional Examinations

During your dental exam, your dentist will check for any potential oral health issues. If they are able to catch these issues early on, in many cases, they are easier to treat.

During your visit, you can expect:

• Examination of teeth, gums, and mouth 
• Digital X-rays
• Oral cancer screening

Professional Cleanings

Visiting your dentist for regular professional cleanings can help prevent gum disease and tooth decay. 

During a professional cleaning, your hygienist or dentist will remove: 

• Plaque from your teeth
• Tartar (calculus) above and beneath the gum line
• Stains from your teeth

Your dentist will finish your appointment off by polishing up your teeth.
