There simply aren’t enough hours in a day to get everything done, so arranging dental visits for you and your family might seem like an impossible task sometimes. At Casuarina Square Dental Care, we realise how busy you are, and we’ll do whatever we can to provide timely treatment and help you maintain the best oral health possible.
Because routine dental cleanings are the foundation for good oral health, we recommend a visit every six months to remove the stubborn plaque and tartar that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
What Is a Professional Dental Cleaning?
Our dental clinic welcomes patients of all ages for routine dental cleanings; for optimal oral health, it’s best to arrange visits twice a year.
During your check-up and cleaning, here’s what to expect:
- We’ll take any necessary x-rays before we begin.
- A hygienist will then remove plaque and tartar from your teeth with a specialised dental tool.
- Once that’s complete, they will polish your teeth with a gritty toothpaste.
- Then, the hygienist will floss between each tooth to remove any remaining debris. You can rinse your mouth when they’re finished.
- Before you see the dentist, the hygienist will give you some brushing and flossing tips so you can maintain the best oral health possible. They can point out any areas that need more attention.
- Depending on the situation, they might apply a fluoride treatment.
- Next, the dentist will conduct a visual examination, checking your teeth, gums, neck, throat and other soft tissues, looking for signs of cavities, periodontal disease or oral cancer.
- If you need further treatment, they’ll discuss your treatment options with you and help you make an informed decision.
- Before you leave, you can arrange for your next visit.
