All Brite
Dental offers comprehensive dental exams to all of its patients at their
initial visit. At following regular
check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will include examination of
diagnostic x-rays. These examinations are
essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts and bone loss.
X-rays also help maintenance of proper tooth
and root positions. Oral cancer
screening will be performed by thorough checking of the face, neck, lips,
tongue, throat, tissues and gums. Your
dentist will always evaluate and examine if there is any gum or tooth decay
present. Finally a check of existing
restorations such as crowns or fillings will be performed to ensure the quality
of past procedures. Patients can also
schedule professional dental cleanings that will be performed by a registered
dental hygienist.
Your cleaning
appointment will include a dental exam with all of the procedure mentioned
above as well as laser gum cleaning.
This is a preliminary step to kill any harmful bacteria in your gums,
preventing any cross contamination during the cleaning process and also speed
up your healing time. Your hygienist
will also provide removal of calculus, or tarter, and plaque. Calculus is hardened plaque that has been
left on the tooth for some time and is firmly attached to the tooth
surface. After all plaque and calculus
have been removed, your hygienist will polish your teeth and remove all stain
that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.
