Our dedicated team is committed to providing comprehensive dental cleanings and exams that ensure your teeth and gums are in optimal condition.
When you visit us for a dental cleaning, our skilled hygienists perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth. This process involves removing plaque and tartar that can build up even with careful brushing and flossing at home. We use gentle, effective techniques to clean your teeth, focusing on areas that may be difficult to reach on your own.
After the plaque and tartar are removed, we polish your teeth. This step not only gives your teeth a shiny finish but also smooths the enamel surface, making it harder for plaque to stick in the future. To conclude the cleaning, we may apply fluoride treatment to help strengthen your teeth against decay, providing an extra layer of protection until your next visit.
Our dental exams are comprehensive and tailored to your individual health needs. During an exam, our dentist will perform a detailed assessment of your oral health. This includes a visual inspection of your teeth, gums and mouth to look for any signs of trouble, such as cavities, gum disease or other oral health issues. Dr. Scott Johnson also uses digital X-rays to view the structures beneath the surface of your gums, allowing us to detect issues that are not visible to the naked eye.
We believe in a proactive approach to dental care. Part of our exam includes discussing your oral hygiene habits, dietary choices and any concerns you may have about your oral health. This dialogue helps us tailor our advice and treatments to best suit your needs.
Regular dental cleanings and exams are vital for maintaining oral health and preventing future problems. These visits allow us to catch potential issues early and address them before they develop into more serious conditions. Moreover, routine cleanings help prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar, which are the primary causes of decay and gum disease.
