Cleanings and Examinations
When you visit our office for cleanings and examinations, you receive a complete service that goes far beyond a simple checkup and polishing.
- Visual examination of teeth and gums
- Examining the integrity of past dental work
- X-rays to look for cavities between the teeth or problems developing under the gums
- Further use of x-rays to find problems with the roots of teeth or bones in the jaw
- Checking your face and lips for any signs of cancer
- Checking the inside of your mouth for any sores or hard spots
Of course, we also remove any tartar that has accumulated on your teeth and give them a nice polish to reduce any stains that might be starting.
Sticking to a regular schedule of cleanings and examinations is the best way to keep your teeth healthy and prevent the need for expensive treatment.
