We also assess tooth and root positions to ensure everything is functioning properly. Your appointment includes an oral cancer screening, where we carefully examine the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, and soft tissues for any signs of concern. We also evaluate your gums and supporting bone structure for signs of periodontal (gum) disease and thoroughly check all tooth surfaces for decay. Existing restorations such as fillings and crowns are examined to ensure they remain in good condition.

We also eliminate plaque—a sticky film of bacteria that produces toxins and can lead to gum inflammation and periodontal disease. Finally, your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and any remaining plaque, leaving your smile feeling smooth, clean, and refreshed. Regular exams and cleanings every six months help maintain optimal oral health and catch small problems before they become bigger ones.
