General

The appointment that prevents the other ones

Overview

The appointment that prevents the others

A cleaning is the appointment that prevents most of the others. Plaque and hardened deposits (tartar) are removed, the gums are checked, and the exam catches problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat.

Prevention and patient education are the foundation of how this practice works. You will hear what we found, see it where that helps, and leave knowing which areas need attention at home before they need attention in the chair.

The visit is not rushed, and it is not a sales appointment. If nothing needs doing, we will tell you that.

Who it is for

Candidacy is confirmed in person, not online.


  • You are due for a routine cleaning and exam.


  • Your gums bleed when you brush or floss.


  • It has been a while since your last visit and you want to know where you stand.


  • You want a hygienist who explains what they are seeing rather than working in silence.

What to expect

The sequence, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Review and imaging

    We review your health history and take imaging where it is indicated, not by default.

  2. 02

    Hygiene visit

    Plaque and tartar are removed above and below the gumline, and the teeth are polished.

  3. 03

    Exam

    Your dentist checks the teeth, gums, and soft tissue, and screens for anything that needs following.

  4. 04

    Findings and plan

    You hear exactly what was found, what needs treatment now, and what is only worth watching.

Questions

What patients ask us first.

For most people it is a regular interval set by your gum health. Yours is recommended after the exam rather than assumed. PLACEHOLDER, office to confirm the standard recall interval.

Your next appointment starts a longer relationship.

One call is enough to start. We will find a time, verify your benefits, and take it from there.
