Seeing your dentist regularly is one of the best habits you can adopt for your oral health. Each visit not only allows you to thoroughly clean your teeth to preserve their natural shine but also allows you to quickly detect any signs of problems before they develop and lead to more serious consequences.
Whether you want to maintain a dazzling smile or protect the health and strength of your teeth for years to come, routine checkups are an essential step whose importance cannot be underestimated!
A dental exam is the first step in ensuring your long-term oral health. During your visit, our team takes the time to conduct a comprehensive assessment, combining the attentive eye of a dental hygienist with the expertise of a dentist.
This collaborative approach allows us to develop an accurate picture of your mouth and quickly detect any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other issues that are often invisible in everyday life.
By detecting problems early, we can intervene more quickly, often with simpler, less expensive, and less invasive treatments.
Your visit will begin with a discussion with our team about your general health and lifestyle habits. We will then conduct a comprehensive exam that includes:
- A visual assessment of your teeth, gums, and oral mucosa.
- A check of your occlusion, i.e., the way your teeth fit together.
- Early detection of cavities, infections, or inflammation.
- X-rays, if necessary, to better observe what is not visible to the naked eye.
- Personalized advice on care and preventive measures adapted to your situation.
The entire process is carried out in a reassuring, caring, and respectful atmosphere, to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
Even with an excellent hygiene routine at home, some tartar and plaque buildup can only be removed with a professional cleaning.
During cleanings, our dental hygienist uses specialized instruments to gently remove tartar that has built up around the teeth and under the gumline. This treatment helps prevent gum and periodontal disease, keeps your breath fresh, and maintains the natural appearance of your teeth.
Additionally, a polish is performed to remove surface stains and smooth your teeth, which also helps slow the buildup of plaque.
Generally, it is recommended to schedule an exam and cleaning every six to twelve months. However, some patients with specific needs, such as a history of gum disease or an increased risk of cavities, may require more frequent visits.
Our team will advise you on the ideal frequency based on your personal situation, in order to provide optimal and personalized follow-up tailored to your situation and needs.
Routine care such as dental exams and cleanings are much more than just formalities. They are essential appointments that allow you to take care of yourself, maintain your comfort, and maintain a lasting balance in your oral health.
At Carrefour Dentaire 440 in Laval, each patient is welcomed with respect, kindness, and attentiveness. Our team is here to provide you with compassionate support, whether you’re coming for a simple checkup or have specific concerns.
