We recommend that patients visit us twice a year for dental cleanings and exams in u dental. Regular checkups will help you maintain attractive and healthy smile and help you avoid more complicated and expensive dental procedures.
Signs of gum disease, such as bleeding and bad breath, caught and treated early can prevent future pain and loss of teeth. Similarly, cavities caught and treated early can prevent future pain, need of root canal treatment or extractions.
During the check-up, we will check the surfaces on your teeth. You will receive a thorough teeth cleaning to remove plaque and hard tartar, including those hard-to-reach areas you might miss with your toothbrush. We also recommend taking digital dental X-rays to check for tooth decay or the presence of gum disease.
No matter how thorough you are during your daily routine teeth cleaning at home, harmful bacteria grow in your mouth that can only be removed by a professional teeth cleaning. These bacteria can cause gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath. The bacteria that cause gum disease are the same as those linked to heart disease and other illnesses.
We use state-of-the-art ultrasonic scalers and flavoured prophylaxis paste to ensure that the cleaning procedure is gentle.
