A dental cleaning and exam are necessary parts of your oral healthcare regimen, and ideally, you should plan on visiting us every six months; however, there may be situations in which our dentist may want to see you more frequently. During your routine visit, our dental team will clean, floss and polish your teeth to remove plaque and tartar. We may also take X-rays of your smile to track any changes in your teeth and mouth and as part of the examination that our dentist will perform to see if you have any problems that need to be addressed. These exams are an important part of your dental care since they allow our team to detect and treat any problems while they are easier and less expensive to treat. If there is an issue, Dr. Stenvall will discuss your treatment options and may make recommendations on how to improve your home care. To enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles, call our office today.
