Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Oftentimes, patients assume that routine checkups and cleanings are optional as long as you take good care of your smile at home. That’s not the case! Remember, common problems – from tooth decay to oral cancer – can develop without any symptoms. Plus, your toothbrush and floss can’t remove caked-on plaque and tartar. So, these routine visits play a crucial role in preventing dental issues as well as catching any that do develop early on.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
During your examination, we want to learn everything we can about your unique smile and any concerns that may need professional attention. Dr. Joseph Vollo or Dr. Katherine Vollo will thoroughly inspect each tooth surface, the gum tissue, your bite, your jaw, any existing restorations (like crowns or fillings) that are in place, and more. We’ll use digital X-rays as well to view areas that aren’t accessible to the naked eye. Once our team has reviewed all of this valuable information, we’ll be capable of sitting down with you and devising a personalized treatment plan.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
During your cleanings, our talented hygienists will want to eliminate as much plaque and tartar from your smile as possible. Plaque is a sticky and clear substance that is filled with harmful bacteria, and it’s constantly forming on your teeth throughout each day. If it’s left in place too long, it’ll start to harden into tartar, which can only be removed by professionals like us. We’ll eliminate these threats of decay, polish away minor staining, and leave your mouth feeling wonderfully refreshed.
Whether you’re new to the area or you’re a long-time patient of ours, don’t hesitate to give us a call to schedule your next dental checkup and teeth cleaning! We’d be happy to answer any questions you have and book an appointment that works with your schedule seamlessly.
