New Clients Welcome
Regular preventative care is key to having a healthy mouth and beautiful smile over your lifetime.
Regular dental hygiene treatment prevents periodontal disease and improves your oral and systemic health.
Included is assessment of your head and neck as well as all oral tissues.
All new clients will receive this dental hygiene exam to identify your specific dental hygiene needs and risk factors. This includes an evaluation of your gingiva (gum) visually and measurements of your gum and bone. A diagnosis is made and reviewed with you. This guides our treatment planning so together we can achieve your optimum oral health. Your oral health findings will be reassessed at every visit.
Scaling
Scaling is the removal of plaque and calculus (tarter) that is attaches to the surface of the tooth. The removal of this deposit and associated bacteria is performed above and below the the gum. The removal of the deposits is done gently with specific hand instruments and an ultrasonic scaling tool.
Root Planing
When microorganisms embed into the cementum and surface dentin of the root, root planing is preformed to remove these disease causing bacteria from your tooth. In addition, the root surface is smoothed which promotes healing and reduces the ability for bacteria to adhere to the root again.
