What You Can Expect at a Professional Hygiene Appointment
During your professional hygiene appointment, we have two main tasks that we focus on accomplishing. The first thing we want to do is examine your mouth and teeth for any problematic symptoms. For this, we’ll perform diagnostic tests that include the following:
- Digital X-rays to detect tooth decay
- Oral cancer screening
- Bite pattern examination
- Gum tissue evaluation
The other thing we want to do is help ensure that your oral health will stay at its optimal condition for as long as it can. To do this, we’ll perform preventive services which consist of:
- Teeth cleaning
- Plaque and tartar removal
- Fluoride application
- Stain removal
