What should I expect during a professional teeth cleaning and examination?
Patients who visit our office often have questions about what they can expect during their upcoming routine dental visit. We start with the cleaning process, where our dental hygienists use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, including those hard-to-reach areas. They may also use an ultrasonic scaler for more stubborn build-up. Then, the teeth are polished with a gritty paste and flossed to remove any food particles between the teeth.
Afterward, the examination starts. Our skilled dentists thoroughly examine the mouth, teeth, and gums. This also involves checking for any signs of tooth decay or cavities, as well as examining the health of your gums. Our team will also take dental x-rays and a 3D dental health scan to get a better look at the overall health of your teeth and jawbone–beyond where the naked eye can see. This appointment is also a great time to talk to our professionals about how to care for your smile or what procedures you might need in the near future if issues such as gum disease or tooth decay are spotted.
What are the advantages of regular professional teeth cleanings and examinations at Dental Associates of Hoboken?
There are many advantages to seeing our dental team regularly for routine dental care. These visits can:
- Prevent tooth decay and cavities. Regular cleanings remove both plaque and tartar build-up, reducing the risk of developing tooth decay or cavities.
- Allow our team to detect the early signs of oral disease. During the examination, our dentists might spot any potential issues such as gum disease, oral cancer, or other dental problems that may require treatment.
- Help to maintain overall oral health and wellness. These professional cleanings not only keep your teeth looking and feeling clean but also contribute to good gum health and wellness over the course of a lifetime with regular appointments.
