Exceptional Dental Cleanings and Checkups in LA

A dentist check-up and cleaning is a preventive procedure and a way to keep your smile in pristine condition. This style of appointment is dedicated to closely examining the mouth, jaws, and throat, removing persistent plaque and tartar, and patient education.

Here’s what you can expect from this type of dental service:

• Dental x-rays: Using comfortable, advanced digital x-rays, we can capture concealed oral health problems, like interdental cavities or signs of oral cancer.
• Periodontal probing: After examining and updating your health history, our dental hygienist will gently measure the depth of your gum tissue using specialized tools and techniques. Healthy gums fit snugly around the teeth and have shallow periodontal pockets.
• Dental inspection: After measuring gum tissue, our dental team member will closely inspect the status of your teeth to look for visible signs of cavities, cracking, or other potential issues.
• Dental cleaning: After checking the condition of your smile, our dental hygienist will perform a dental cleaning using ultrasonic and hand-held tools to clear away germs, plaque, and tartar. Then, he or she will polish away some surface-level stains and floss your teeth to remove any particles between the teeth.
• Ongoing Oral Care Education: After cleaning your teeth, our dental team will offer sage wisdom and take time to answer your questions regarding oral health.
