Your routine dental cleaning is an essential tool for protecting your smile and oral health. Here's what you can expect to happen during dental hygiene services in Maple Ridge.
Your hygienist will review your health history and make any updates to your notes. It is recommended that you update your x-rays once a year, and if it's time for your x-rays, our hygienist will take those so your dentist can review them with you.
After reviewing your health history, your hygienist will begin a comprehensive cleaning process. They will diligently remove any plaque and bacteria buildup from your teeth and polish them to a gleaming finish. The process concludes with a thorough flossing, leaving your mouth feeling fresh, clean, and healthy.
A Visit with Your Maple Ridge Dentist
A routine exam typically accompanies a professional teeth cleaning. Our dentists screen you for common dental issues like gum disease, cavities, and tooth decay. Spotting these concerns as early as possible makes them easier for you to treat.
Your dentist will also check for oral cancer, as detecting it early gives you the best prognosis for successful treatment.
