Checkups and Cleans
The best way to keep your smile healthy is to screen for common oral health concerns on a frequent basis. For most people, it’s best to schedule a checkup, scale and clean every six months.
What’s involved?
Exams — Thorough monitoring and evaluation of your smile ensure that potential concerns are intercepted as early as possible. During your checkups, we’ll compare our findings to previous visits, so that new developments can be addressed when they’re smaller and more affordable to correct. Ultimately, we want to focus on preventative care strategies by avoiding aggressive dental problems from developing in the first place.
Scale and Clean — When you brush and floss, there’s usually a small amount of plaque biofilm accidentally left behind. After 24 hours, that soft buildup begins to calcify into tartar (calculus), which can’t be removed with conventional oral hygiene aids. During your visit, we’ll use special tools to clean away buildup to keep your smile healthy and avoid the onset of gum disease. People with generally healthy teeth and gums should schedule a scale and clean every six months. If you’re currently recovering from gum disease, it’s best to see you about every 3-4 months instead.
