Dental Hygiene Exams and Cleanings

Understanding the Importance of Dental Hygiene

Maintaining good dental hygiene is crucial for your overall health and well-being. By practicing good oral hygiene and attending regular dental cleanings, you can significantly reduce the risk of these problems. Poor oral health can lead to various dental problems, including:

Also known as periodontal disease, gum disease is a common dental health issue that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.

This can be caused by advanced gum disease, tooth decay, or other conditions.

Also known as halitosis, bad breath is a common oral health issue frequently caused by poor dental hygiene practices.

The Dental Hygiene Process at Aesthetic Oral Health

At Aesthetic Oral Health, we prioritize the oral health and well-being of our patients. Our dental hygiene process is designed to provide comprehensive and personalized care to ensure optimal oral health.

During your dental hygiene appointment, our team will conduct an initial oral examination to assess the health of your teeth and gums. Following the examination, we will perform a step-by-step cleaning process.

We strive to provide a comfortable and compassionate experience for our patients, ensuring that they receive the highest quality dental care. Our team is dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain optimal oral health.

Initial Oral Examination: What to Expect

During your initial oral examination at Aesthetic Oral Health, our team will carefully assess the health of your teeth and gums. This examination allows us to identify any potential dental issues and develop a personalized treatment plan for your needs.

The oral examination begins with an examination of the gum line and an evaluation of the overall gum health. Our dental hygienist will look for signs of inflammation, redness, or bleeding, which can indicate gum disease. They will also inspect the teeth for any signs of decay, cavities, or other dental problems. Before the actual cleaning process begins, the dental hygienist will also perform a physical exam of your entire mouth to check for any potential concerns.

In addition to examining the gums and teeth, our dental hygienist will conduct a physical examination of your mouth. This may involve checking the tongue, cheeks, and other oral tissues for any abnormalities.

By conducting a thorough initial oral examination, we can identify any potential dental issues and provide the necessary treatment to ensure optimal oral health.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

The step-by-step cleaning process at Aesthetic Oral Health is designed to provide a thorough and comprehensive cleaning of your teeth and gums.

The cleaning process begins with plaque and tartar removal. Specialized tools are used to gently remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth, along the gum line, and between your teeth. This step helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

Next, your hygienist will floss your teeth to remove any remaining plaque and debris between your teeth and along your gum line. This helps ensure that all areas of your mouth are clean and free of bacteria. This professional flossing session helps remove any leftover plaque. They may also polish your teeth to help remove surface stains and give your teeth a smooth and shiny appearance.

Finally, a fluoride treatment may be applied. Fluoride is a mineral that helps strengthen the enamel and protect against tooth decay. The treatment is typically applied as a foam or gel and left on your teeth for a short period.

By following this step-by-step cleaning process, we can ensure that your teeth and gums receive a thorough cleaning, promoting optimal oral health.

Post-Cleaning Care and Recommendations

After your dental cleaning at Aesthetic Oral Health, our team will provide you with post-cleaning care recommendations to help maintain optimal oral health.

Establishing a regular schedule of dental check-ups and cleanings will be crucial for long-term oral health. Our team will work with you to schedule routine dental visits and ensure you receive the necessary preventive care to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
