Regular dental cleanings and exams are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing oral health issues. Dr. Matthew Fraiz and associates provide comprehensive preventive care tailored to your unique needs. These routine visits play a critical role in preserving the health of your teeth and gums.
The Importance of Dental Cleanings and Exams
Dental cleanings and exams are more than just routine checkups; they are a proactive approach to maintaining oral health. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be eliminated by brushing and flossing alone. These substances can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if left untreated.
Exams allow our dentists and team to identify potential issues early, such as cavities, gum disease, or other conditions, before they become more severe and require extensive treatment. Additionally, regular visits help monitor overall oral health and provide an opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have.
What to Expect During Your Visit
1. Cleaning: A skilled dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Your teeth will then be polished to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth and clean.
2. Examination: Our dentists will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. Diagnostic X-rays may be taken if necessary.
3. Oral Health Advice: You will receive personalized recommendations for at-home care and tips to maintain your oral hygiene between visits.
