Dental Cleaning<\/h2>\n

The American Dental Association recommends that everyone young and old have a least two dental cleanings each year. At these regularly scheduled visits, one of our skilled hygienists will thoroughly clean all the surfaces of your teeth, reaching spots that are difficult to brush on your own. These professional cleanings remove plaque\u2014that sticky film where the bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease hide\u2014and stains on the enamel surface of teeth that might otherwise cause discoloration.<\/p>\n

Dental Exam<\/h2>\n

Along with your dental cleaning is an examination of your teeth and gums. We\u2019re looking for the early warning signs of dental and oral problems. For example, Dr. Hendricksen will visually examine your teeth and probe for small soft spots that are indicative of a developing cavity. Once a year, we\u2019ll also take digital x-rays in order to find decay that we can\u2019t see below the surface or between teeth.<\/p>\n

To make sure your gums are healthy, we will probe and chart the small pockets that surround teeth. Healthy gums have pockets that are no more than four millimeters deep. Pockets that are deeper can be a sign of periodontal disease, a bacterial infection that affects the gum and connective tissue that hold your teeth in place.<\/p>\n

Your exam will also include a screening for oral cancer. Every year, some 9,500 Americans die of this disease that is highly treatable and curable when caught early. Your 24523 dentist carefully examines your oral cavity and lips for warning signs that include a sore that hasn\u2019t healed; a swollen area in or on any soft tissue; a smooth or scaly patch of tissue; and an area that feels numb. We\u2019ll also gently palpate your jaw, neck and throat.<\/p>\n
