Why You Need Dental Cleanings
In addition to brushing and flossing your teeth at home, you should visit your dentist twice a year for a cleaning. During this appointment, a skilled hygienist will remove plaque buildup from your teeth to help avoid cavities. This preventive care step can help you avoid the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and many other concerns.
What To Expect During Your Examination
The second part of your biannual checkup includes a thorough examination of your teeth and gum tissue. Dr. Fletcher will look for any visual indicators of changes to your oral health. Dental technology such as digital X-rays and imaging may be used to take a closer look at your smile, and he may look for decay and gum disease. If treatment is needed, Dr. Fletcher will explain a thorough plan with you.
