First, your dentist will examine your teeth, tongue, gums, and mouth area to determine whether you have any cavities or other issues that will need to be addressed in a future appointment. Your dentist may want to take X-rays to detect any abnormalities with the teeth and bone. Your dentist will go over anything they find that they are concerned about and discuss your options for dealing with the issue.
Teeth Cleaning
Next, is the teeth cleaning process. This is usually done by a dental hygienist. Your hygienist will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from each tooth. After this, your teeth will be polished using a gritty paste that works to remove stains from the surface of your teeth. Next, your teeth will be flossed to remove any debris from between your teeth.
Oral Care Plan
After your teeth cleaning, the hygienist will go over a custom at-home oral care plan with you as well as proper brushing technique and answer any questions you may have.
