You might brush your teeth when you wake up and before you go to sleep. You also might floss each day, too. You may even use mouth wash with fluoride. All of these tasks are important if you want to keep your smile looking beautiful. But there is one thing that isn’t mentioned that cannot be ignored.
Experts recommend that everyone receive a dental exam at least every six months, or more often if advised. They are the only way to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums. These appointments involve several steps:
• Our cosmetic dentist will review and update your dental and overall medical history.
• Your mouth will be examined for any visible lesions or serious damage, such as gum disease, canker sores, or decay.
• A dental cleaning by our professional, which involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stuck debris. They will use special tools that can access spaces you cannot reach with your toothbrush at home.
• Our dentist will then return to examine your newly cleaned teeth, and inform you of any issues you may need to be concerned about.
• Your teeth will then be polished, using a special toothbrush. This will leave your teeth squeaky clean and smooth!
• Our team will go over proper brushing and flossing technique. They will also take this time to recommend any products you might benefit from.
