Why Routine Dental Cleanings & Exams Are Important
Consistent dental cleanings and exams are the cornerstone of preventive dentistry. By scheduling regular appointments, you allow our team to detect potential issues early, remove plaque and tartar buildup, and guide you in maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home.
What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning & Exam
A typical dental cleaning and exam at Hendricks Family Dentistry includes:
- Professional Cleaning: Our hygienists will gently remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and provide helpful tips to keep your teeth and gums clean between visits.
- Comprehensive Exam: Each exam involves a thorough inspection of your teeth, gums, and mouth to detect any early signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. This allows us to address problems before they require more complex treatment.
- X-Rays & Digital Imaging: Using digital X-rays and intraoral cameras, we capture detailed images of your teeth and jaw. This advanced technology helps us detect issues that may not be visible during a standard exam. Learn more about our imaging technology.
Additional Preventive Services We Offer
To support your oral health between cleanings, we offer a range of preventive treatments:
- Dental Sealants: Sealants provide an extra layer of protection for your teeth, particularly beneficial for children. They help prevent cavities by shielding vulnerable areas from bacteria.
- Fluoride Treatment: Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and protects against decay. Our fluoride treatments are safe, quick, and beneficial for both children and adults.
- Oral Cancer Screening: Early detection of oral cancer can be life-saving. Our comprehensive exams include an oral cancer screening to ensure your health and peace of mind.
