Before the exam, our holistic dentist will ask about the patient’s medical history, current medications, nutrition, and any dental issues the patient is experiencing. During the exam, the dentist will inspect teeth for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other common dental problems. X-rays will be taken to check the roots of the teeth and the bone that supports the teeth. The patient may also be asked to bite down on a tray filled with dental putty to create an imprint of teeth. The dentist will use this imprint to check for bite alignment and signs of bruxism or teeth grinding.
Your dental cleaning will be performed by one of our skilled dental hygienists. This cleaning will remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and along the gum line. We will also incorporate ozone therapy during each appointment and a routine oral microbiome test to analyze the plaque under microscope. Your dental hygienist will also provide personalized at-home brushing and flossing care instructions.
Most dental exams and cleanings happen every six months, although some people may need them more often. Your dentist and or hygienist will examine and recommend your cleaning routine.
The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush with recommended toothpaste and flossing at least once a day. It’s also essential that you see your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. These visits are essential for preventing cavities and gum disease.
