Preventive dental cleanings can make it easier for Georgetown patients to keep their teeth healthy

The team of 4405 Dental Studio in Georgetown, TX, allows patients the opportunity to take the steps needed to achieve healthy, beautiful smiles. This often includes preventive dental cleanings. Teeth cleaning is done by a dental hygienist during recall visits to ensure the teeth and gums are healthy. This is just one step in the prevention of gum disease and tooth decay.

What happens during a preventive dental cleaning?

Patients who come in for regular checkups know the process of how a dental hygienist will clean the teeth during the visit. However, it may have been a while since you have had an appointment, so our team will educate you on what to expect during your preventive dentistry visit and cleanings:

  • Oral health assessment – our dental team will thoroughly inspect the oral cavity to monitor overall health, and the dentist may also recommend x-rays to further evaluate potential issues.
  • Teeth cleaning – during a dental cleaning, tartar, and plaque on the tooth surfaces is removed.
  • Scaling and root planing – another procedure that offers a deeper cleaning is the scaling and root planing cleaning, which cleans the roots of the teeth underneath the gum line. This is often recommended for patients who have periodontal disease or the later stages of gingivitis.
  • Oral cancer screenings – cancer of the mouth is one of the easiest to spot with routine dental visits. Our team will evaluate the mouth, tongue, and soft tissues for any signs of cancer and approach the condition, as necessary.
  • Patient education – our dental team will advise you of ways to maintain your oral health, especially if you have signs of impending periodontal disease or cavities.
