Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are an important part of your oral health routine. They provide Dr. Lacquaniti the opportunity to not only help you clear away hard-to-remove tartar, but also to examine your teeth and gums and make sure they are in good health. If she does notice any problems or changes, she can recommend the appropriate care so that minor issues can be resolved before they have a chance to get worse.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
Depending on the date of your last exam, when you arrive at your dental checkup you might need to have new X-rays taken. These will give Dr. Lacquaniti a more in-depth look at your teeth and gums, so she can ensure that you have no hidden problems such as cavities or impacted wisdom teeth that may not otherwise be visible.
Your dental technician will then measure the pockets of your gums to screen for gum recession due to periodontal disease.
Finally, your teeth and gums will be checked for abnormalities and oral cancer. Oral cancer screenings are painless and take only a few minutes, but they could save your life!
Following your initial exam, you’ll be ready for your cleaning.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Dental cleanings are done by a dental technician to help remove tartar buildup from your teeth. Even if you are a great brusher and flosser, tartar can still accumulate, especially along the gum line. Your technician will use special tools to scrape it away, and then floss between each tooth.
Next, your teeth will be polished with a special paste and electric brush, and once they’re rinsed and shiny, Dr. Lacquaniti will return to the room to complete one last examination. Should you require any interventions or follow-up care, she will discuss this with you at this time and will schedule you for your next appointment.
