What makes you a good candidate for Dental Exams & Cleanings?
Everyone is a good candidate for both cleanings and exams. In fact, even babies and toddlers should come into the office to be seen. Even patients who wear full dentures can benefit from an oral examination. If it’s been awhile since your last dental appointment, it’s never too late to start taking control of your dental health.
What to expect during your Dental Exams & Cleanings?
You’ll come into our office, where you’ll be warmly greeted and seated comfortably. The hygienist may take x-rays of your teeth, as needed, to help in diagnosing certain conditions. The hygienist then works to professionally clean and polish your teeth. Your gums will be checked and measured for signs of gingivitis and gum disease. You will then have an examination by Dr. Melissa Schuldt, who will check for intra-oral problems. If treatment is needed, we may schedule you for a separate appointment to have the work done. An oral cancer screening is done at each of your preventative care appointments.
If you need a dental exam as well as a professional cleaning, call us today and our helpful staff members can further assist you.
