Preventive Dental Care
Regularly scheduled oral examinations and Dental hygiene cleanings near you at Carling Heights Dental Clinic can help you prevent any dental issues you may run into and keep your smile healthy and happy.
Oral Examinations
Regular oral examinations, ideally scheduled twice per year, give the dentist the opportunity to identify any oral health issues that may be emerging in your mouth and to make a plan to treat them accordingly.
During the examinations, the dentist will closely examine and assess the health of your teeth, bite, jaw, and gums. Exams may also include oral cancer screening, x-rays, and any other required diagnostic procedures.
Dental Hygiene Cleaning
The dentist or dental hygienist will conduct a deep dental hygiene cleaning of your teeth and gum to help prevent and treat diseases. Ultrasonic or hand scalers will be used to remove any tartar, staining, and plaque. Polishing paste together with a polisher will remove any leftover plaque or stains from your teeth.
Fluoride Treatment
If you or your child has a high risk of tooth decay, dentist may also recommend a fluoride treatment. Fluoride is a natural mineral that can help to rebuild the minerals in your tooth enamel to prevent or reverse tooth decay.
Dental Sealants
If teeth have deep pits and grooves, it can be difficult to clean these areas with a toothbrush during your regular home oral hygiene routine. Ultimately, these pits and grooves are susceptible to tooth decay. Dental sealant is a specially formulated material which can flow into the deep pits and fissures and make them smooth for easy home care. This preventive care treatment is great for kids and teens prone to cavities.
