Exams And Hygiene At Saskatoon Downtown Dentist
Routine visits form the base of dental care. An exam helps us see how your teeth, gums, and bite are doing. A cleaning removes buildup that brushing and flossing leave behind. Combined, they lower the chances of cavities, gum disease, and other problems that affect everyday health.
What Happens At An Exam
During a checkup, the dentist looks closely at teeth and gums, as well as the bite and soft tissues. Sometimes X-rays are suggested to see areas that aren’t visible during a regular look. Exams often reveal small changes before they turn into larger concerns, which makes treatment easier.
Why Cleanings Matter
A hygienist carries out professional cleanings. Plaque and tartar can form in spots you simply can’t reach with a toothbrush. Removing them helps prevent gum disease, keeps teeth feeling smooth, and often improves breath. After the cleaning, polishing may be done, and tips for home care are usually shared.
Prevention First
Sticking with exams and hygiene visits can save time and discomfort in the long run. Children benefit as their teeth grow in, teens get support while their bite changes, and adults maintain healthier mouths as they age. Oral health and overall health are closely linked, which makes prevention an important step beyond the smile itself.
