About Dental Routine Care

Many people wait until they are in pain to see a dentist. While it is good to correct any issues your mouth may have as soon as possible, it is better to prevent them from occurring in the first place. Poor dental health is also linked to a number of health problems such as diabetes, kidney disease, and heart disease. Routine dental check-ups benefit your body’s overall health.

When you visit one of our dentists, your gums and teeth will be examined. They will check for any signs of infection or recession in your gums, popping in your jaw, and tooth decay. They may take x-rays to see if there are any problems with the jawbone or tooth roots. It is always best to catch issues in their early stages to prevent high dental costs and discomfort.

If a dental infection is not caught soon enough, it may lead to tooth loss that requires a dental implant or bridge to correct. Gum disease is another common problem that can result in tooth loss. It is caused by the buildup of plaque on the tooth. During routine visits, the plaque is removed from your teeth. That process makes it less likely for gum disease to develop.

When our dentist sees tooth decay in its beginning stages, they can remove the decayed portion of the tooth. They then fill the tooth using a tooth-colored filling.

What Should I Do Between Dental Visits?

Be sure to take care of your teeth and gums between regular dental visits. Plaque is always forming on your teeth, but you can manage it by brushing and flossing regularly.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Be sure to use a toothpaste that contains fluoride.

Floss daily.

Use a mouthwash to help control plaque bacteria. This will also help to keep your breath fresh.

What’s Right For Me? A Deep Cleaning Or A Regular Cleaning?

Preventive Cleaning

A dental hygienist will scrape away plaque and tartar from your teeth using a special instrument. Then, your teeth will be cleaned, polished, and flossed. Preventive cleanings are meant for those who do not have excessive plaque or tartar build-up on their teeth. If a patient is found to have more build-up than what can be taken care of by a preventive cleaning, they will be referred for a deep cleaning instead.

Deep Cleaning

A deep cleaning is not necessary for every patient. You will be informed by your dental care team if you require one. It is a special type of cleaning that is focused on eliminating the excessive build-up of bacteria that causes gum disease. If you have gingivitis or a more severe case of gum disease, you will need a deep cleaning. The roots of your teeth will also be smoothed to eliminate pockets of bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions

More frequent questions about this dental service

Why Should I Come To Dental Appointments?

Regular dental visits are important because they can help spot dental health problems early on when treatment is likely to be simpler and more affordable. They also help prevent many problems from developing in the first place.

I Don't Have Any Symptoms. Should I Still See A Dentist?

Yes. Even if you don’t have any symptoms, an issue with your teeth may still be present. Regular dental visits will help prevent those problems from developing to the point where they are noticeable.

How Often Should I See The Dentist?

It is recommended that a general dental check-up takes place at least twice a year or every six months.

Will I Get My Teeth Cleaned During A Check-Up?

Usually, yes. Most general dentistry check-up appointments combine an examination and cleaning into one appointment. The general dentist will examine the teeth and may take x-rays. Then, the patient will visit with the dental hygienist to undergo a preventive cleaning. If during a check-up it is discovered that a deep cleaning is needed, you may be scheduled for that on a different day. Deep cleanings are done in quadrants, unlike preventive cleanings that handle the entire mouth. Deep cleanings are more intense than preventive cleanings and take a longer amount of time.

What Happens If I Skip Routine Visits?

Patients that skip their general dentistry check-ups are more likely to develop cavities, infections, or other dental issues that have the potential to impact one's health in a very negative way.
