Taking care of your teeth is about more than just a bright, beautiful smile. If you live in Randolph, NJ, or the surrounding area, maintaining good oral health through regular preventive dental visits can make a profound difference in your overall health and quality of life.
With professional cleanings, education, and early detection of any concerns, you can speak, eat, and live without the limiting burden of preventable dental problems. The smile you deserve is well within reach when you prioritize preventive care.
Preventing Oral Health Issues
We recommend a routine dental exam and cleaning every six months to prevent oral health issues. These appointments take less than an hour and allow us to assess your oral health and take care of any dental concerns before they worsen.
When you visit us for a dental exam and cleaning, here’s what you can expect:
- First, the hygienist will look at your teeth and inside your mouth. If you need dental x-rays, they’ll take those too.
- If there aren’t any obvious issues, they will perform a dental cleaning to remove any plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth, between your teeth, and along your gumline.
- Next, they will polish your teeth with a powerful electric toothbrush and gritty toothpaste.
- Once finished, they will floss between each tooth and have you rinse your mouth.
- Then, the dentist will look at your teeth, compare notes from your previous visit, and thoroughly examine your head and neck, checking for any abnormalities. They’ll also check your jaw function and assess your bite.
- Then, they will examine your existing dental work and determine whether you need any treatment before your next visit.
- Once they have answered your questions and given you some tips on brushing and flossing at home, you’re all set!
