Dental Cleaning & Exams
Choosing us for dental check-ups and dental exams means choosing a team that understands your complete dental health.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Regular professional teeth cleanings by our skilled hygienists are essential in preventing plaque buildup, which is the primary cause of tooth decay, gum disease, and gingivitis. By removing plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas, these cleanings play a vital role in maintaining your oral health.
While daily brushing and flossing can help remove some plaque, they can't reach the tiny crevices where plaque often accumulates. Professional cleanings target these areas, preventing potential dental problems that can arise if plaque is left untreated. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar near the gumline, which can only be removed during a professional cleaning.
Investing in regular dental cleanings every six months is a cost-effective way to avoid expensive dental procedures caused by neglected oral care. Preventative dental visits ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy, saving you from the need for more extensive treatments later on.
What's Included in a Routine Exam?
At Union Smiles, we provide comprehensive dental care with a focus on preventive treatments! During your routine dental exam, we combine both an oral exam and professional teeth cleaning in one appointment.
Teeth Cleaning: Begins with a thorough teeth cleaning performed by one of our experienced dental hygienists. We will remove plaque and tartar buildup to help prevent cavities and gum disease.
X-rays & Visual Inspection: Take and review detailed X-rays to assess the overall health of your teeth and gums. We also perform a visual inspection using specialized instruments, such as a long-handled mirror and a dental explorer, to check for any dental issues.
Gum Health Assessment: Healthy gums are firm and pink, without signs of swelling or bleeding. If your gums show signs of disease, we will provide personalized recommendations to improve gum health.
Identifying Dental Problems: We'll also look for signs of cavities, tooth decay, or other oral health concerns. The dentist will review your X-rays and visual exam results to recommend the best course of action for treatment or prevention.
