Dental cleanings are a cornerstone of oral health care, helping to maintain a healthy, bright smile. At Parkway Family Dental, Dr. Jacob Wood uses these routine visits not only to polish your teeth but also to monitor your overall dental health for any changes or concerns.
Why Are Dental Cleanings and Exams Important?
Regular cleanings and exams are essential for maintaining the health and appearance of your smile. We recommend visiting our office every six months to prevent potential issues and keep your teeth and gums in top shape.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
During your dental cleaning and exam, our experienced team will:
- Remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent cavities and gum disease.
- Floss and polish your teeth for a smooth, radiant finish.
- Examine your teeth and gums for signs of decay, damage, or other oral health concerns.
Advanced Diagnostics with Digital X-Rays
If necessary, we may take digital X-rays to capture detailed images of your teeth and the areas beneath your gums. These X-rays allow us to detect hidden dental conditions that might not be visible during a standard exam. Rest assured, digital X-rays are certified safe by the American Dental Association®, providing a crucial tool for thorough, accurate diagnostics.
Benefits of Regular Cleanings and Exams
- Prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.
- Detect and address concerns early, saving time and avoiding more complex treatments.
- Enjoy a clean, bright, and healthy smile you can feel confident about.
