What Happens During a Dental Exam and Cleaning?
During your initial exam and dental cleaning, we will take x-rays of your teeth, provide a thorough cleaning and dental exam by either Dr. Quintana or Dr. DeMarco.
During the dental cleaning, one of our highly experienced dental hygienists will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth using dental instruments. This is very important because plaque and tartar that is not thoroughly removed can lead to dental cavities and other dental concerns. We will then, polish and floss your teeth, and do offer our patients fluoride to protect their teeth against cavities.
When your teeth are clean, the dentist will come in and conduct a thorough examination. We will perform an oral cancer screening, and check for any cavities, fractures, or other dental concerns you may have. If we identify any problems, we will provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan.
