Why Are Dental Cleanings and Exams Important?

Regular dental cleanings and exams are vital for maintaining oral health. They help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues by allowing early detection and treatment. Visiting your dentist regularly ensures your teeth and gums stay healthy, reducing the risk of serious problems.

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning

1. Thorough Examination: Each visit begins with a detailed examination of your teeth and gums. Dr. Dido Kim, DDS, checks for signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental conditions. This thorough assessment helps identify issues early, ensuring prompt and effective treatment.

2. Professional Cleaning: Our skilled dental hygienists perform a deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup. This process includes:

   • Scaling: Removing plaque and tartar from teeth surfaces and along the gumline.
   • Polishing: Polishing your teeth to remove surface stains and give them a smooth, shiny look.
   • Flossing: Flossing between your teeth to remove any remaining debris.

3. Oral Hygiene Education: After your cleaning, our team provides personalized oral hygiene advice. This includes tips on brushing and flossing techniques, and recommendations for products that can help maintain your oral health.

What to Expect During a Dental Exam

1. Visual Inspection: Dr. Kim will visually inspect your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of problems, such as cavities, gum inflammation, or other issues.

2. Digital X-Rays: If necessary, digital X-rays are taken to provide a detailed view of your teeth and jaw. X-rays help detect hidden cavities, impacted teeth, and bone loss.

3. Oral Cancer Screening: An essential part of your dental exam is an oral cancer screening. Dr. Kim checks for any unusual lesions or abnormalities in your mouth to ensure early detection and treatment if needed.

4. Discussion and Treatment Planning: Based on the findings, Dr. Kim will discuss any concerns and recommend appropriate treatments. This may include further preventive measures, restorative procedures, or cosmetic enhancements.
