CHECKUPS & CLEANINGS

DENTAL CHECKUPS & CLEANINGS

Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing dental issues. At PCO Dental, our team is dedicated to providing top-notch care to keep your teeth and gums in excellent condition.

What to Expect During a Dental Checkup

During a dental checkup, we perform a thorough examination to ensure your oral health is in top shape.

Dental-Checkup

Initial Examination

We start with a visual inspection of your teeth and gums, looking for any signs of decay, inflammation, or other issues. Our team uses dental instruments for a closer look, ensuring we catch any problems early.

Dental X-Rays

Dental X-rays play a crucial role in detecting hidden issues that aren’t visible during a visual exam. We follow strict safety measures to protect you, and we only take X-rays as needed based on your dental history and current condition.

The Cleaning Process

Removal-Of-Plaque

Removal of Plaque and Tartar

We use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar that have built up on your teeth. Professional cleaning is essential because it reaches areas that regular brushing and flossing can’t.

Teeth Polishing

After removing plaque and tartar, we polish your teeth to give them a smooth and shiny finish. Polishing helps remove surface stains and makes it harder for plaque to build up.

Flossing and Rinsing

We complete the cleaning process with a thorough flossing to remove debris between your teeth. Finally, we rinse your mouth with a fluoride solution to provide added protection against cavities.

Benefits of Regular Checkups and Cleanings

Regular dental checkups and cleanings offer several significant benefits that contribute to your overall health and well-being.

Prevention of Dental Issues

Regular checkups allow us to detect cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues early. Early detection helps us treat problems before they become more serious.

Maintaining Oral Health

Routine cleanings and exams keep your teeth and gums healthy. By removing plaque and tartar, we help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, ensuring your mouth stays in top condition.

Saving Money

Addressing dental issues early can save you money in the long run. By catching problems before they require more extensive treatment, you avoid costly procedures down the line.

Overall Health Benefits

Your oral health is closely connected to your overall health. Regular dental visits help reduce the risk of conditions linked to poor oral health, such as heart disease and diabetes.

How Often Should You Get Checkups and Cleanings?

Most patients should visit the dentist for checkups and cleanings every six months. This frequency helps maintain oral health and allows for early detection of any issues.

Some patients may need more frequent visits. If you have specific conditions such as gum disease or diabetes, we may recommend coming in more often to manage your oral health effectively.

FAQs on Dental Checkups/Cleanings

What should I do to prepare for my dental appointment?

Bring your insurance information, a list of any medications you are taking, and your previous dental records if available. Brush and floss your teeth before the visit to help us perform a thorough examination.

How often should I have a dental checkup and cleaning?

We recommend visiting the dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. However, some patients with specific conditions, like gum disease or diabetes, may need more frequent visits.

What can I expect during a dental checkup?

During a checkup, we will perform a visual inspection of your teeth and gums, take dental X-rays if necessary, conduct an oral cancer screening, and evaluate your gums for signs of disease.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes, dental X-rays are safe. We use digital X-rays, which emit very low levels of radiation. We also take necessary precautions to ensure your safety during the procedure.

Why do I need professional teeth cleaning if I brush and floss daily?

Even with good oral hygiene, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleaning removes these deposits, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease.

What is an oral cancer screening?

An oral cancer screening is a quick and painless procedure where we examine your mouth for any signs of cancer or precancerous conditions. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment.

How can regular dental visits save me money?

Regular visits allow us to detect and treat issues early before they become more serious and costly. Preventive care is often less expensive than restorative treatments.
