Cleanings & Checkups
Visiting the dentist regularly can already feel like a huge obstacle for people who are used to being treated poorly. Our general dentist is dedicated to your comfort and well-being. That way, you feel capable of following through on your routine dental cleanings and empowered to take charge of your teeth and gums.
During the dental cleaning, a dental hygienist will thoroughly examine your mouth, looking for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues that may require further treatment. Then they will use special tools to remove any plaque, tartar, or stains that have built up on your teeth since your last dental check-up. If you’re prone to tooth decay, our dentists might suggest additional fluoride treatments or dental sealants to protect against cavities. Overall, this process helps prevent decay and other issues, allowing you to maintain a bright, healthy smile for years.
Typically, the first part of a general dentistry appointment is an exam, which is essential to maintaining good oral health. During the check-up portion of the appointment, a dental professional will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, or other oral health issues. Additionally, they may take X-rays to examine any potential problem areas closely. Overall, a dental exam is a crucial part of preventive dental care that can help identify and address any issues before they become more severe and require more invasive treatments.
Timely dental check-ups can keep your teeth in good shape! As healthcare professionals, Jamaica Estates Dental emphasizes the importance of maintaining good oral health, which involves practicing proper dental hygiene habits at home and receiving regular dental exams and cleanings in the office.
Prioritizing a dental cleaning and exam every six months bring so many benefits that we cannot overemphasize them enough. Regular dental exams allow our dentists to catch potential problems early before they turn into more severe dental issues, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
Brushing twice daily is essential for an effective routine, but more is needed. Professional dental cleanings and check-ups are crucial to maintaining optimal health and caring for your smile. Visiting a dentist regularly helps detect any problems or potential developments before they become more significant, safeguarding against possible infections and discomfort from neglecting proper maintenance.
