Practicing good oral hygiene includes brushing your teeth twice per day and flossing daily. You may rinse with mouthwash or an oral irrigator to remove bacteria or food particles between the teeth. Ask our expert dental team for more tips on the best ways to care for your teeth.

Ideally, you maintain a healthy diet, good oral hygiene, and regular dental visits to avoid dental problems. Avoiding sugary foods and regular brushing and flossing helps keep your teeth healthy between appointments. Your routine dental exams are necessary to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that could lead to problems.

During a dental exam, your teeth are cleaned, flossed, and polished using special tools. Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar in all of the nooks and crannies to ensure the best clean. Your dentist then assesses your teeth, soft tissues, and jaw for signs of dental problems. X-rays may be recommended as well.

If you are a new patient, x-rays are taken to get a baseline for your dental care. For existing patients, dental x-rays help us monitor changes in your oral health. Using the Planmeca Promax 3D CBCT machine we can easily view your teeth, gums, bone, and nerves. Advanced dental technology allows us to safely assess your dental health to ensure you get the most appropriate treatments.
