When you come in for a teeth cleaning and exam, you can expect a thorough and comfortable experience. Here’s what your visit will typically include:
- Professional Cleaning – Our team will use an ultrasonic scaler to gently remove plaque and tartar.
- Polishing – Your hygienist will buff your teeth to remove surface stains.
- Comprehensive Exam – We’ll check for cavities, gum disease, and other issues.
- Oral Cancer Screening – We’ll examine your mouth for any signs of this disease.
- TMJ Check – Your dentist will assess your jaw joints for any problems.
Our advanced technology helps ensure we catch even the smallest issue. We use digital and panoramic X-rays to get detailed views of your teeth and jawbone. These X-rays use less radiation than traditional images, making them safer for you. We also use intraoral cameras to get a close-up view of your teeth and gums, allowing us to spot problems that might be missed by the naked eye.
The oral cancer screening and TMJ check are important parts of your exam. Catching oral cancer early greatly improves treatment success, while identifying TMJ issues can help prevent jaw pain and headaches.
