What Happens During a Preventive Dentistry Visit?
When you come to our office for a preventive dentistry visit, the first thing we will do is identify potential problems. We do this by thoroughly cleaning your teeth. We will brush your teeth, floss them, and use special dental tools to remove plaque and tartar that may have built up.
Then, we will craft a treatment plan to help you fix any issues we find. During your dental exam, our dentist will examine your soft tissues, gum, and teeth. We will look for any possible signs of infection.
Do You Take X-Rays?
One of the most important parts of the visit is a fluoride treatment. Fluoride strengthens your enamel and can prevent cavities from developing. It is designed to bind with the various minerals in your teeth, acting as an extra layer of protection to help your teeth better resist the acid produced by bacteria.
There is a chance that you already have fluoride in your water. You should always use toothpaste that has fluoride in it. Then, when you come to our office, we will further reinforce your teeth with extra fluoride treatments.
