Why Should You Care About Dental Exams & Cleanings?
Did you know that keeping up with regular check-ups for your oral health does more than protect the way your smile looks? Your appointments can detect and address potential problems like cavities and gum disease in their early stages and help prevent them from developing at all! This early intervention and treatment will ensure a healthy and radiant smile.
What To Expect During Your Visit
The Examination
At the beginning of your consultation, Dr. Klein will discuss your oral health history and any concerns you might have. He then will gently examine your teeth and gums. X-rays might be needed to take a closer look beneath the surface for hidden cavities and check on the health of the surrounding bone. We'll also take a look at your tongue and throat for any signs of trouble.
Plaque Removal And Dental Cleaning
Next, your dental hygienist will take center stage. They'll use ultrasonic tools to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup (the main culprit of cavities and gum disease.) They’ll also show you the best way to floss those hard-to-reach places.
Polishing for Perfection
Afterward, Dr. Klein will polish your teeth to a fresh finish, removing surface stains and leaving you with fresh, minty breath. Based on the examination, he'll also address any areas that need extra attention and create a personalized oral hygiene routine tailored just for you.
The Link Between Your Oral & Overall Health
There’s no denying the connection between oral health and overall well-being! Your mouth acts as a gateway to your body, and the bacteria that thrive in an unhealthy mouth can enter your bloodstream and potentially contribute to a variety of health problems. Regular dental exams and cleanings keep your mouth free of harmful bacteria, protect your overall health, and minimize the risk of painful and expensive dental procedures down the road.
