EXAM & CLEANINGS
What are dental exams and cleanings?
A dental exam is necessary to find intra-oral problems and create a treatment plan specific to an individual patient. Exams can check for cavities, signs of infection, problematic restorations, and even oral cancer. A cleaning is performed by our hygienist, who will remove built-up tartar and stains on the teeth. Cleanings involve checking the gums for signs of both gingivitis and gum disease.
