Dental Hygiene and Exams Q&A
What do Dental Hygiene and Exams involve?
Dental hygiene primarily involves professional teeth cleaning (prophylaxis), which removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can miss. It also includes polishing your teeth and providing personalized instructions on proper brushing, flossing, and dietary habits. Dental exams involve a thorough visual inspection of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues, often accompanied by X-rays, to detect cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential problems early on.
Will Dental Hygiene and Exams hurt?
Most dental hygiene appointments and exams are comfortable and pain-free. During a cleaning, you might experience some pressure or scraping sensations, but significant pain is uncommon. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, our hygienists can use special techniques or products to ensure your comfort. Exams are generally non-invasive and painless.
Do I need Dental Hygiene and Exams?
Absolutely. Regular dental hygiene appointments and exams are crucial for everyone, regardless of age or apparent oral health. They are vital for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other serious conditions, as well as for identifying issues early when they are most treatable. We typically recommend them at least twice a year, or more frequently if you have specific oral health concerns.
