Regular dental cleanings are essential in remaining good oral health for life. We recommend visits at least once every six months to ensure your teeth and gums are in optimal shape. During your professional cleaning, you will learn about your dental health and the benefits of preventive dentistry.
A dental cleaning can go a long way in restoring your oral health and brightening your smile! Our team will always use state of the art technology to help you manage your gums and periodontal health. Dental cleanings are important to remove plaque and calculus that can often lead to cavities and periodontal disease if left alone. Plaque also contributes to halitosis, more commonly known as bad breath. At your hygiene visit, we will also update you on the latest oral hygiene recommendations, check your teeth for decay, and perform a thorough cancer screening. Fluoride treatments and dental x-rays may be recommended when appropriate!
A comprehensive dental exam performed by Dr. Sugiki will review your medical and dental history to determine if there are any changes that can affect your overall oral health. You will also receive a diagnostic examination for cavities and gum disease and ensure any existing fillings are in tip top shape. Your oral cancer screening will evaluate your face, neck, throat, lips, tongue and gums for any early signs of oral cancer. Digital X-rays and a panoramic, if necessary, will help detect any cavities, bone loss, or cysts. Studies show dental decay is the most chronic disease among children ages 5 to 17. We offer fluoride treatments for both children and adults to help protect your pearly whites! It is our goal to educate you on your oral health and establish a “dental home” so you feel confident and comfortable during your visits.
