Not only do we check ourselves in the examination, but we also ask you what concerns or questions you might have with the exam. Should something out of the ordinary present itself, we will cover that with you and set up the next steps to address it. These types of exams are important for both our oral health and our overall health.

If areas are missed in brushing and flossing, the plaque can harden into tartar or calculus, a combination of different types of hard bacteria. It requires our equipment and expertise to remove it safely. This type of hard bacteria is not beneficial; it attacks the teeth and more, both on the outside layers of the bacteria you see, and the inside layer against the tooth and gums.

Our hygienists can professionally cleanse these areas, leaving your mouth refreshed, but more importantly, cleaned and healthier.
