Dental cleanings are typically paired with check-ups since the treatments complement one another and can be done in just one appointment. A dental hygienist will perform the cleaning.
- Exam: X-rays will be taken of your oral cavity, allowing your dentist to assess the health of your tooth roots, jawbone, and nerves. They will also physically examine your mouth, looking for gum disease or decay. Your dentist will also talk to you about your medical history and at-home hygiene habits.
- Guided Biofilm Therapy: We offer all of our patients complimentary Guided Biofilm Therapy with their cleaning. Bacteria, plaque, and other particles are cleared away from the surface of your teeth, in between them, and along your gums.
- Brushing and Flossing: Your teeth are brushed with gritty toothpaste (sometimes, you’ll be able to choose the flavour!). This removes stains, polishes your smile, and freshens your breath. Then, your hygienist will floss your teeth for you.
