Exam and Clean
Regular dental check-ups and professional cleans are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. At Sweet Tooth Dental, we offer thorough examinations and gentle yet effective professional cleans to help prevent dental issues before they become serious.
What’s Included in an Exam & Clean?
1. Comprehensive Dental Exam
• A full assessment of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
• Checking for signs of decay, gum disease, infections, or other concerns.
• An oral cancer screening for early detection of any abnormalities.
• Digital X-rays (if needed) to detect hidden issues beneath the surface.
2. Professional Clean (Scale & Polish)
• Plaque and Tartar Removal: Using advanced tools, we gently remove plaque and tartar buildup, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
• Polishing: We polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth and fresh.
• Fluoride Treatment (if needed): Strengthens your enamel and helps protect against cavities.
Why Are Regular Exams & Cleans Important?
• Prevention is Key: Routine check-ups help catch problems early, saving you time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
• Gum Health: A professional clean removes bacteria and buildup that contribute to gum disease.
• Fresher Breath & Brighter Smile: Removing tartar and stains leaves your teeth looking and feeling great.
• Overall Health Benefits: Your oral health is linked to your overall health, and keeping your teeth clean helps reduce the risk of other health conditions.
How Often Should You Have an Exam & Clean?
We recommend visiting every six months for a routine check-up and clean. However, some patients with specific dental conditions may need more frequent visits.
