Teeth Cleaning
When you come in for your dental cleaning and exam appointment, our hygienist will first thoroughly clean each of your teeth. All plaque and tartar will be removed from the teeth and below the gumline. Removing tartar and plaque can help prevent gum disease and other dental issues. After the plaque and tartar has been removed, your teeth will be flossed and polished.
Examination
Dr. Alex Fleming will then check each of your teeth, your gums, and your mouth for signs of dental problems. If any issue was detected and diagnosed, our dentist will go over your treatment options with you.
X-Rays
Depending on your dental health, age, and other factors, our dentist may decide to take X-rays of your teeth. These X-rays can help him to detect issues that may not have been visible to the naked eye, like decay between the teeth.
