Dental Cleanings and Exams
Routine dental exams play a vital role in preserving your oral health. During your regular checkup, your hygienist will:
- Examine for issues you might not notice or sense.
- Search for cavities or indicators of tooth decay.
- Evaluate your teeth and gums for gingivitis and periodontal disease signs.
- Conduct a comprehensive teeth cleaning, rinse, and polish.
Coming to our Modern Dental Smiles every six months allows you to address any oral health questions with us. These visits also let you learn about new treatments that could enhance your smile.
Picking the Ideal Toothpaste and Toothbrush
From toothpaste and mouthwash to toothbrushes and floss, selecting the appropriate products for your smile matters greatly. When picking a new toothpaste or toothbrush, opt for those endorsed by the American Dental Association (ADA). Dr. Lodhi or Dr. Bally can recommend specific dental products for home use.
