Process of a Dental Checkup
During a typical dental exam, our team will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing any surface stains or deposits, known as tartar or calculus, which are more difficult to remove than plaque and require the assistance of professional dental instruments.
We will also check for signs of decay or gum disease. An X-ray may be performed to provide a more detailed summary of your oral health and to identify any problems more closely.

We will ask you questions about your current dental care methods, such as how often you brush your teeth and floss, as well as whether you use a toothpaste with fluoride.
