Why Do You Need a Dental Checkup?
Routine checkup appointments are a cornerstone of preventive care and oral hygiene on par with daily brushing and flossing. Checkups are vital to ensuring your teeth stay healthy over the long term, as they let us spot problems before they get serious and prevent new ones from forming. You should visit our Pleasanton dental office twice a year for a routine checkup appointment, but if you notice any problems, don't hesitate to call for an immediate evaluation.
What to Expect at Dental Checkups
Your dental checkup is a simple, routine procedure that gives your Pleasanton dentist a chance to examine your mouth for problems and provide instructions for home care.
The appointment includes a comprehensive oral exam including an oral cancer screening for adults. We may take photographs or X-rays to get a better understanding of your oral health situation. If any concerning problems are found, we will develop a treatment plan to help get your oral health back on the right track.
What to Expect at Dental Cleanings
Another part of your checkup appointment is a teeth cleaning. This is a thorough, comprehensive cleaning of your teeth and gums, allowing us to remove plaque and calculus (tartar) buildup from places that you can't reach with a normal toothbrush and floss. Your dental hygienist will use specialized tools to clean away any caked-on plaque and bacteria, freeing the tooth enamel from contact with these corrosive elements. Finally, your hygienist will carefully polish your teeth to make it harder for bacteria to adhere to them. Based on the results of your exam and cleaning, Dr. Pruski may then recommend modifications to your at-home oral hygiene regimen to help you maintain a clean, healthy mouth and strong teeth.
