FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT DENTAL EXAMS AND CLEANINGS
Regular dental exams and cleanings are necessary for sustaining good oral health. They allow your dentist to detect early signs of gum disease, tooth decay, oral cancer, and other oral health issues. By identifying these problems in their early stages, we can provide timely treatment and prevent them from progressing into more serious conditions.
Even if you brush and floss diligently at home, some areas in your mouth are difficult to reach and clean thoroughly. Over time, plaque and tartar form on your teeth, leading to tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Dental cleanings help remove this buildup, prevent oral health complications, and keep your smile healthy and bright.
We recommend you have a dental exam and cleaning at least once every six months, but the frequency may vary depending on your oral health needs. Some patients with certain oral health conditions may be advised to have more frequent exams. Your Soul dentist will determine the appropriate interval based on your specific needs.
During a dental exam, your dentist will thoroughly evaluate your oral health. This typically includes:
- Visual examination: We will inspect your teeth, gums, tongue, and other oral tissues for any signs of decay, gum disease, or abnormalities.
- Dental x-rays: X-rays may be taken to detect issues not perceptible to the naked eye, such as decay between teeth, bone loss, or infections.
- Oral cancer screening: Your dentist will examine you for any signs of oral cancer, including abnormalities in the mouth, throat, or neck.
During a dental cleaning appointment, your dental hygienist will perform several important procedures to ensure the health and cleanliness of your teeth and gums. These procedures typically include:
- Plaque and tartar removal: Your dental hygienist will use specialized tools to gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gumline. This process is known as scaling and is an essential step in preventing oral health problems.
- Tooth polishing: After removing plaque and tartar, your Soul hygienist will use a gritty toothpaste and a high-powered electric toothbrush to polish your teeth. This helps remove surface stains and leaves your teeth feeling clean and smooth.
- Flossing: Next, the dental hygienist will carefully floss between your teeth to remove any remaining debris or plaque. This ensures that all areas of your mouth are thoroughly clean.
- Fluoride treatment: In some cases, a fluoride gel, rinse, or foam may be applied to your teeth to strengthen the enamel and protect against tooth decay.
- Oral examination: During your dental cleaning appointment, the dentist will examine your mouth, teeth, and gums for any signs of oral health problems. This allows for early detection and timely treatment of any issues.
No, dental exams are not painful. At Soul Dental, we prioritize patient comfort and take steps to ensure that your dental cleaning experience is as comfortable as possible. You may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity during the process, especially if you have sensitive teeth or gums. However, our skilled dental professionals will use gentle techniques to minimize discomfort.
If you have any concerns or dental anxiety, feel free to communicate with our team, and we will do our best to address them and provide a positive experience.
Yes, dental X-rays are safe and emit minimal radiation. With advanced digital X-ray technology, radiation exposure is significantly lower than with traditional X-rays. Additionally, we take necessary precautions, such as using lead aprons, to further minimize any potential exposure.
If a dental issue is discovered during your exam, our Soul team will discuss the findings with you and recommend appropriate treatment options. We will also provide you with a customized treatment plan and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Our goal is to work with you to achieve optimal oral health and ensure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Absolutely! Regular dental exams can help identify and address potential dental issues before they become emergencies. By catching problems early on, we can provide prompt treatment and prevent further complications. We also offer preventive measures, such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments, which can help reduce the risk of cavities and other dental emergencies.
Make sure to brush your teeth before your appointment. It may also be helpful to make a list of any concerns or questions you have regarding your oral health. This way, you can discuss them with your dentist during the exam.
Regular dental cleanings not only promote good oral health but also have a positive impact on your overall health. Numerous studies have linked oral health to various conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems. Dental cleanings contribute to your overall well-being and may help prevent health issues by keeping your mouth clean and free from harmful bacteria.
Yes, dental cleanings can help remove surface stains from your teeth, resulting in a brighter and more radiant smile. The polishing step of the dental cleaning process can effectively remove stains caused by factors such as coffee, tea, tobacco, and certain foods. However, it is important to note that dental cleanings may not be able to remove stains that are deeply embedded within the tooth structure. In such cases, other cosmetic dental procedures, such as teeth whitening, may be recommended to achieve the desired result.
