Dental Visit 101
Are you looking for a dental cleaning or do you have a specific issue or area of concern you would like addressed?
If you have not had a dental cleaning in the last 6 months we are going to recommend you have that done with us in order for the Doctor to have a clean line of sight to any problem areas.
At a dental cleaning you will receive the following:
1️⃣ Prophylaxis (dental cleaning) by your dental hygienist
2️⃣ Perio charting- the hygienist will check that your gum tissue is healthy and free of deep pockets which hold bacteria and cause gingivitis.
3️⃣ Dental x-rays, which are the only way to properly diagnose cavities in between your teeth (where most decay is found)
4️⃣ Oral health care instructions, given by your hygienists to help you with any areas they might see you may need improvement in.
5️⃣ An exam with the doctor to check for decay, cracked teeth, oral cancer or any other problems related to oral health.
6️⃣ Application of topical fluoride, an optional service recommended by our Doctors, to strengthen tooth enamel.
You can call our office at 208-785-3310 to make an appointment.
We hope to see you soon!
