Not Just a Cleaning

I often hear people say, "I need to make an appointment for just a cleaning." However, that appointment is way more than just a cleaning. It is more like a preventative maintenance visit because you receive these services in addition to a cleaning:

Check the health of mouth for bone loss
Examine tooth surface for grinding or tooth clenching
Oral cancer screening
Complete cavity checkup
Brush and floss demonstration and instructions
Take proactive diagnostic images
Show intra-oral visual aides of the mouth
Plaque control
Head and neck examination
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) evaluation
Occlusion (bite) analysis
Blood pressure measurement for designated patients
Review of medications that can affect oral health
Fluoride rinse
Cosmetic evaluation
Smile analysis
Determine shades of your teeth
Orthodontic evaluation
Periodontal probing (gum disease examination)
Complete exam by the dentist

So, please remember to come in for your preventative maintenance visit as it is an integral part of maintaining optimum oral health. Visit roselleparkdental.com for more information about our preventative maintenance visits and other services.
