If you take good care of your teeth, you will probably spend less time in our office for surprise dental issues like cavities, root canals. And even though most patients usually refer to this time as cleaning, it is important you realize that oral hygiene appointments routinely include the following services.
Diagnostic: This means an examination of your teeth to find decay, and an assessment of your gum tissue. Our dentist also looks at your biting, chewing, and swallowing patterns, reviews your medical history, and reassesses your overall treatment, evaluating areas such as cosmetic enhancements for your smile.
Preventive: This could mean screening for oral cancer, checking blood pressure, and applying fluoride and pit and fissure sealants. The hygienist also cleans and scales teeth to remove plaque, tartar, and surfaces stains, and polishes fillings and crowns.
Educational: This could include brushing and flossing instruction, nutrition counseling, explanations of dental treatments, and answers to questions about future treatment such as orthodontics and periodontal therapy.
So there is no such thing as just cleaning. And remember: no matter how much we can do for your teeth, the most important part is what you do for your teeth at home. Hygiene services begin in our office, but they must always be followed by proper brushing, flossing, and healthy eating at home. If you are not sure how ask your dentist at your next appointment.
