Routine Dental Exams and Cleanings
The Importance of Regular Check-Ups
Regular dental exams and cleanings are the cornerstone of preventive dental care. During these visits, Dr. Mitchell and our hygienists will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Early detection of dental problems can prevent more serious issues down the line, saving you time, discomfort, and expense.
What to Expect During a Cleaning
Our professional cleanings are designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that regular brushing and flossing cannot. Here’s what a typical cleaning involves:
- Scaling: Using hand instruments or an ultrasonic scaler, we remove plaque and tartar from your teeth surfaces.
- Polishing: A special paste or pumice is used to polish your teeth, removing any remaining biofilm and leaving your teeth smooth and shiny.
- Preventive Treatments: Depending on your oral health, we may recommend additional services such as fluoride treatments or dental sealants to protect your teeth from decay.
How Often Should You Get a Cleaning?
The American Dental Association recommends that most people have their teeth cleaned every six months. However, this interval can vary based on individual needs. Dr. Mitchell will provide personalized recommendations to ensure your oral health is maintained effectively.
Dental Fillings
Restoring Function and Aesthetics
When cavities occur, dental fillings are often the best solution. Fillings restore the function and appearance of a tooth that has been damaged by decay. At Mitchell Dental Studio, we use high-quality materials for fillings, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early Detection Saves Lives
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not detected early. During your routine exams, Dr. Mitchell performs thorough oral cancer screenings to identify any signs of abnormal tissues or lesions in your mouth.
Tooth Extractions
When Extraction Is Necessary
While our goal is to preserve your natural teeth, there are times when a tooth extraction is necessary. Severe decay, damage, or overcrowding may require removal to maintain overall oral health.
Dental X-Rays
Diagnostic Imaging for Accurate Assessment
Dental X-rays are an essential tool in diagnosing and treating various dental conditions. They provide a clear picture of your teeth, bones, and surrounding tissues, allowing Dr. Mitchell to detect issues that are not visible during a standard exam.
