DENTAL CHECKUPS AND CLEANINGS

What Happens During a Checkup?

• Comprehensive Examination: Dr. Magers will carefully examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues.
• Oral Cancer Screening: We conduct thorough oral cancer screenings to detect any signs of abnormalities early on.
• Dental X-Rays: X-rays allow us to see what’s happening beneath the surface, showing us everything from the integrity of your roots to spotting hidden infections that could lead to painful toothaches when you least expect it.
• Personalized Consultation: We’ll discuss your oral health goals, address any concerns you may have, and answer your questions in a relaxed and friendly manner. We’d love to get to know you!

Why Are Professional Cleanings So Important?

Even with diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth over time, especially in those hard-to-reach places we just can’t reach. Our skilled hygienists will:

• Remove Plaque and Tartar: We’ll gently remove plaque and tartar buildup which can lead to gum disease and tooth decay, including any harmful bacteria. Your smile will thank you for it!
• Polish Your Teeth: A professional polish leaves your teeth feeling smooth and looking their best. In fact, many of our patients can’t help but comment on how fresh their smiles feel.
• Provide Personalized Oral Hygiene Tips: We’ll share tips and techniques to improve your at-home oral care routine, filling in any gaps, recommending a toothbrush, and even proper flossing techniques that work for your smile.

Benefits of Regular Checkups & Cleanings

• Prevent Tooth Decay and Gum Disease: Early detection and treatment of dental issues can help you avoid more extensive and costly procedures down the road.
• Maintain a Healthy Smile: Regular cleanings and checkups help keep your teeth and gums healthy, contributing to a beautiful and confident smile.
