Examination and cleaning
It is recommended by the Association des chirurgiens dentistes du Québec to schedule an appointment with a dentist every 6 months. Your oral health has a direct impact on your overall health, as the bacteria in your mouth can circulate throughout your body. Regular examination and cleaning appointments with our team allow for the prevention of oral diseases or their early detection.
During your cleaning, our team removes the accumulated tartar from your teeth. Afterwards, the dentist conducts an examination of your mouth, which includes checking for oral cancer, evaluating the condition of your teeth, and assessing your oral health. During your examination and cleaning, it is also recommended to apply a fluoride varnish to your teeth to reduce the risk of developing cavities.
What is the importance of getting a dental cleaning every 6 months?
Prevention of dental plaque: Even with excellent oral hygiene at home, food residues can accumulate and form plaque on the teeth.
Prevention of gum diseases: Gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis are among the leading causes of tooth loss in adults.
Early detection of dental problems: During dental cleaning visits, the oral health professional carefully examines your teeth, gums, and mouth. This allows for the early detection of cavities, dental fractures, infections, and other potential dental issues.
What is fluoride varnish?
Fluoride varnish, also known as fluoride varnish, is a topical treatment used in dentistry to strengthen and protect teeth against dental caries. It is a concentrated form of fluoride that is applied directly to the surface of the teeth, typically by a dentist, dental hygienist, or dental health professional.
