Hygiene Appointments
Explained

Regular cleaning appointments can help you attain and maintain good oral health. Hygienists not only clean and examine teeth, gums, and your tongue, but they also look out for signs of inflammation or abnormalities that could be harmful.

Oral hygiene appointments can aid in the prevention of tooth loss and oral disease. At your cleaning appointments, your hygienist will recommend taking X-rays when necessary to find cavities in your teeth, determine your bone levels, and find any signs of infection. They will also polish teeth to remove stains, apply fluoride to strengthen teeth and apply fissure sealants to seal grooves for decay prevention.

A dentist will also examine your teeth and provide you with direction and next steps if there are signs of issues that may require treatment. You can also expect your hygienist to educate you throughout your visit to show you what you can do to improve and maintain your oral health at home.

What Is Included
In General & Family Dentistry?

Here is what you must know about general and family dentistry:

Fillings

Fillings restore teeth that have been damaged by decay. The decayed part of the tooth is removed, and the tooth is then disinfected and reconstructed. The lost tooth structure is replaced with a filling material to restore the tooth’s natural shape and function. During an examination at your cleaning appointment and through x-rays, a dentist will determine and inform you when you require a filling.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer screenings are conducted for patients at our offices on an annual basis, as well as for first visits. A practitioner will conduct a thorough examination of the head and neck in search of signs of inflammation of the lymph nodes, which can be suggestive of oral cancer.

The practitioner will also examine the most high-risk sites in the mouth, such as the lateral tongue and the floor of the mouth. In compliance with the most modern standards of preventative oral healthcare, oral cancer screenings should be done on a routine basis.

This is because your primary care physician may screen all other areas of the body for cancer but may not consider the involvement of the oral tissues. The first signs of cancer sometimes present themselves in the mouth, so it is vital that assessments are occurring regularly. Call to book your oral cancer screening today.
