Having a healthy smile begins with a good oral hygiene routine at home and regular visits to the dentist. While brushing and flossing are crucial to oral health, regular dental cleanings can prevent many common dental conditions from ever occurring. At Smile in Style, Diem Do DDS in Marrero, LA, we utilize state-of-the-art technology to provide high quality preventative dental services for our patients.
In today’s busy, on the go society, routine dental visits are often the first to get overlooked, especially if you are not in pain or having any problems. However, regular exams and dental cleanings are necessary for many different reasons.
When to come to the office for your cleaning and exam – there are several steps that you can expect to occur each time. The visit begins with a dental hygienist using a mirror to visually examine the mouth to look for any areas of concern. Then, they will use a dental scaler to remove any plaque that has hardened on or between teeth. You may notice that the hygienist spends more time on the back molars in your mouth as these teeth are harder to reach with routine brushing and flossing. Next, a gritty toothpaste is used to brush and polish the teeth and the final step is to floss between your teeth.
Once the hygienist is finished cleaning your teeth, the dentist will visually examine the mouth to make sure that everything looks healthy. If there are any concerns such as cavities or gum disease, we will provide you with treatment options and guidance on restoring oral health.
Here are some of the other services or treatments that may occur during your visit:
