The Parts of a Preventive Dental Care Appointment

Examinations & Screenings

The beginning of your appointment will start with dental x-rays and screenings. Once we’ve capture a few dental x-rays of your mouth, the dentist will carefully examine your smile visually and manually. Your dentist will screen your smile for warning signs of common oral health conditions including:

• Tooth decay
• Gum disease
• Chronic teeth grinding (bruxism)
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
• Oral cancer

Professional Teeth Cleanings

As mentioned above, you’ll have your teeth cleaned by one of our skilled dental hygienists. This helps to remove the leftover bacteria, plaque and tartar from your smile—even if you’re a diligent brusher and flosser. Your professional cleaning will ensure there is no undetected plaque or tartar buildup, helping to prevent serious dental problems like decay and gum disease.
