Regular dental checkups and cleaning are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. During a checkup, Dr Raj will evaluate your oral health, looking for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues. The cleaning procedure involves removing plaque, tartar, and any stains from your teeth using a combination of specialized tools and equipment.
After examining your teeth and gums, he may recommend additional procedures such as fluoride treatments or X-rays. Fluoride helps to strengthen your teeth, reducing the risk of decay, while X-rays can detect hidden issues such as cavities and impacted teeth.
During a cleaning, our dental hygienist will use a scaler to remove any plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. They will then polish your teeth using a special tool that uses a rotating head and a gentle abrasive paste.
Regular dental checkups and cleanings can prevent more serious dental issues from arising and can even identify potential health problems such as oral cancer. By prioritizing your oral health, you can maintain a healthy and beautiful smile for years to come.
